Tires Hankook or Kumho
I have Hankook IPike w203 (couple of years older model) and don't have a single complaint (very happy).
On my MK VI R I run Hanhook Icept Evo's in the winter, they are a "snow" tire winter rated and all but they are also geared towards high performance. I feel very confident in conrnrs and such when its dry unlike some snow tires that are mush and don't handle well. In a car like the R it would be a shae to use a tire that doesn't allow the car to handle well when roads are dry or just slightly wet. the Icepts are a great snow tire. I have had zero issues wit their performance on snowy surfaces especially with the AWD you can basically go WOT from a stop in the snow and have no traction issues.
I am running 17x8 +45 Neuspeed RSe05 with 245/40R17 Hankook RS-3's with no problems
I get lucky out of the blue one day and luck into a set of virtually free new take off Hankooks from another new Jetta. I ditch the Contis and put on the Hankooks. HOLY COW. Drives like the car should have from day one.
Kumho is a good brand, but there are many others. Don't skimp on your tires, many non-car people simply buy the cheapest, long-lasting tires they can find and only to discover they sold off their safety in the process.
I bought a set of Kumho Ecsta PA31 HP for my GTI and they are probably the best all around all-season tire I've purchased! Great prices too. They are at about 3000 miles now and they are SO quiet, great in the rain, not bad cornering.
The Ventus V12 EVO K110 is Hankook's Max Performance Summer tire developed for the drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes, and high performance vehicles. A PROVEN street-tire known to deliver superb control and braking.

The Hancook's on my car are quite noisy on uneven surfaces.
Ordered a set of Michelin Primacy's to replace the junk Hancooks VW put on the car.
