Absolute best grip in that size will be the Bridgestone Potenza RE71-R. That would be the 'autocross special' tire. It's a 200 treadwear rated tire, so it's legal in the SCCA Street classes, but it's very soft and extremely grippy.
Been using 225/45R-17 Bridgestone Blizzak WS80's...they have been great last 2 winters.
I have a set of 265/30/R18 Bridgestone RE71Rs I autocross them and daily drove them for a while. But pricey but worth it for performance. I've heard people refer to these as one step down from slicks
I have them and I like them. Sticky for sure, help make corners fun. I wouldn’t say they’re quiet but not super loud either. I have no reason not to recommend them.
I agree, very quiet compared to my Bridgestone Ecopia 422 plus H, better traction wet and dry...better handling too. Expansion joint crossings are quieter than my Bridgestones as well.
I was going to need tires, and saw many positive reviews of the Firestone Firehawk Indy500, which were significantly cheaper than the Michelin Pilot Sports like I had on my old E36 M3.
Get some Blizzak's from Costco while they are on sale. They have been a huge upgrade on my Mazda.
I've been running Blizzaks for a few years now. Love them.
Versatility is not a benefit if the rain tire or dry tire is suitable in the conditions, because they could just run that tire.
I bought a set of new take off wheels for my Golf. They came with factory fresh Bridgestone Ecopia 422 Plus tires. Anyway, these are the crappiest tires I've had in 30 years of driving as far as on center feel / tracking. Car demands constant attention to go perfectly straight on the highway...always wants to go slightly left or right. Going dead straight is total white knuckle territory.
