Tires Hankook or NITTO
I had a set of Hankook Winter i*Pikes, and I liked them. Not as grippy as Blizzaks or Toyo G-02s, but they were also fairly cheap.
I have Nitto Motivo tire on my Golf and love them. Good grip and wear.
I have the Hankooks as well and overall I like them. we have pretty smooth roads around here so they are pretty quiet. I didn't have any issues during this past El Niño.
I actually had a few sets of the Gen 1 Exit 555 Nittos and felt they were an extremely underated tire. Awesome grip, even when cold, wore like iron, and handled wet conditions like it was child's play.
I'm running the V12 evo2's right now, JB1. For daily use, I couldn't be happier. They've all but completely solved my traction issues in 2nd and 3rd gear. Still have to ease into it a bit in 2nd, but 3rd can go WOT ~3k rpm.
Second set of Hankook Ventus Evo2 purchased. Good tire for price. Just be sure to rotate em as I didn't (got a nail in one; plugged) and fronts got killed while backs still have plenty of tread (25 k on em).
Ran the V12s on my 370z and they were fine, with longer tread life than PSS (on that car anyways). Hankook is a solid brand, and unless you track your car, etc. just save the money for something else.
I recently changed wheels and tires on my jetta and I really enjoy the new look as well as the grip from the new tires. I went with a set of hankook v2 and they feel pretty solid so far.
I went with the neo gens (205/40) they do stretch good however the sidewall is noticeable bigger than the 195/40 federal.
Neogens are shit. My slow ass Veloster Turbo could spin my neogens like crazy.
