Tires Kumho or VITOUR
Kumho solus 31s on my car - got a full set a few years ago. No complaints whatsoever - well worth the money imho; very good quality.
My Truck has Kumho Crugen HT51. They are much better then the Goodyear Wranglers they replaced.
Just bought kumho ecsta pa51s for a really good price from Quattro tires based in Quebec. Have dealt with them before on kumhos and have good customer support and shipping times. The pa51s are high performance all seasons with really good tread wear but not a lot of recognition they’re really nice so far.
The next tires i plan on getting are Kuhmos. I had some on a '16 GLI that were very quiet and rode great.
I would purchase Kumho tires (and I have and was very happy) before I purchased Laufenn.
We have owned that tire on all four of our souls and we have had no problems in the snow. I personally like the tire, it’s rated great on tirerack.com and it drives great in the dry,wet and snow .
I actually run the kumho ecsta pa31! So far I love everything about them, they have tons of grip and really low road noise if that's something you're concerned about.
Update: Got the tires installed today. I noticed a major drop in road noise. I was using 9yr old Kumhos, that sat in the garage most of their life. Other than that, no noticeable difference going from 225/40 to 225/45.
I have the LX Platinums on my GLI. After 20,000+miles, they show little wear. Handling is definitely noticeably worse than the original summer tires, but not awful. Winter traction was surprisingly good.
I have the Kumhos and I don't like them. They are quiet, and seem to last forever, to my chagrin. Personally, I'd rather trade a little tread life for more performance, but they might be what you are looking for. A word of warning, though: they break loose pretty easily when it's wet.
