Tires Hankook or Firestone
I have only ever used the Ventus V12 Evo2 tires. They were the exact opposite - tread lasted far longer than I expected. Had to replace them due to age, not mileage / tread.
I have 4 Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 on one of my cars and they are awesome tires. They are now nearing 2 years old and have done over 40k Km on them and they still have at least 30% thread left before hitting the thread marker.
The tires were solid. Seemed to have traction in the snow, but were pretty slippery on the dry salted roads. Ride quality/road noise isn't bad at all, even at high(er than i should've been going) speeds.
I am running 38 in the Indy 500’s so far.
I have been running Firestone Indy 500's for the last 15k miles and for $85 they are awesome.
For performance tires, the best bang for buck is the Firehawk Indy 500. I have them on my Skyline and they transformed the feel. There's more grip, I'm more confident in it, and they didn't cost a ton of money. Plus they look awesome.
ive commented a few times about these tires, theyre great. grippy enough for fun, compliant enough for daily drivability, and cheap enough that you can replace them at will. highly recommend.
From what I've read, the Indy 500s are superior to my stock tires in every way and are also $70/tire cheaper.
Both are good budget performance tires but the uniroyals will wear faster. The Hankooks arent very good when wet, but the uniroyals are excellent as the name suggests.
Riding on Pirellis Cinturatos P7 now. IMO best tire for the Passat. The hankooks had no grip even in very light snow. Rain driving was scary, loud on highway. I couldn't risk driving my family with them.
