Tires Goodyear or Shinko
I got two Goodyear Allegra FuelMax tires for the front of my Jetta before driving to Vancouver and they handled superbly in the rain we encountered every day on the road! I like to drive enthusiastically and they kept up just fine.
Goodyear Eagle GT should be quieter than the Contis for what its worth
The new Goodyear 245's I got are killer.
These were my all around favorite tire as well, and I had them on my B5 Passat back from '03-05. Best tires I've driven on yet. Only other tire that compared to the grip was a set of Bridgeston Re040's on my '06 GLI and my mother's '04 BMW 530i.
i changed my tires to XL (Eagle F1 Asymm's) and the problem is solved. i have hit some very nasty edges and haven't had any drama whatsoever... i believe it certainly would have been a replacement if it wasn't for the XL-strength sidewall.
I have 10k on the Goodyear Eagle all seasons and so far so good. I love their aggressive-looking tread and they handle fine in the rain, but the jury is still out on snow performance.
I got the Goodyear Eagle F1 All-Seasons, and love them. They perform as good as the summer-only variation (not easy to find in many all-seasons), yet offer the security of being able to drive safely n low-temps/snow.
I have them on myh '06 and they're not bad as far as traction goes. The only drawback is, mine are half worn and they have gotten noisier than all hell.
mine are very noisy at about 40kmh/25mph.
Each of our TRegs have these Goodyear Wrangler HP tires: the 06 v8's became "cupped on the inside" with nil tread-wear ( see this http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3316272 ), despite the dealer checking and rotating each 5k miles -- had to be replaced at 12k miles.
