I'm extremely happy with my Firestone Destination X/T's in LT285/65R20E. They are quiet, good in the rain and very solid feeling even on my 1 Ton.
One of the TireRack reps suggested the Firestone WeatherGrip tire. He drives an Alltrack and said that tire is the best all season/winter mild tire, but not at lot of people buy it because they think is not a really all season.
I had the ATR Sport 2 on my Mazda 6 and they had excellent grip for an inexpensive tire. Good in the rain.
I really like my 195/55R15 Achilles ATR Sports. They wear relatively quickly (within 30k-40k miles), but man they're great tires for the money. I've never had an issue with them in the rain either.
I'm running 235/45/17 on my car and I had to get 5mm spacers up front to clear the coilovers. Car is on stock 04 GLI wheels now.
The Firehawk Indy 500 tires aren't perfect but they hold up well on a track known for eating tires. Additionally they are predictable in wet/dry conditions which is perhaps more important for learning.
If you don't need run flats, get Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Rebadged Bridgestone tires that are stickier than most Michelin tires, and cheaper too
I also really like Winterforce tires. again far less expensive but great tread and can be studded if you want.
I run the ATR sport on my 2018 6 GT, only issue i had was it made the car feel like it had a lot of body roll, I think the ATR tires have more grip then the stock suv Falcons that came stock.
I had vibration problems on my ‘16 GTI (at 75+ MPH) with new Firehawk Indy 500’s on new Neuspeed hub centric wheels too. Balanced 3 times still the same problem. Swapped into different tires. Problem completely solved.
