Tires LANDSAIL or OEM Volkswagen
I have since tuned my GTI and installed summer tires, it has only further cemented my decision. Now the car pulls harder but you still have to work with the car to put the power to ground.
i have landsail ls588 UHP tires (245/40 R18) on stock rims. they are phenomenal for the price in my opinion as they run quiet and have tons of grip.
I would look into a set of Landsails or Advantas. Both have solid mileage warranties and are nowhere near Goodyear and Michelin prices.
i’ve got a 2.5 gen so i can’t say much on sizing, but check out land sail. i got ls588 UHPs on mine and ive never had a quieter, smoother ride with insane grip for sub $100 a tire.
i have landsail ls588 Ultra High Performance tires on mine 245/40 R18s. good price and very quiet while having insane grip
Mine came with 19” Montevideo which have been turned into dedicated winter setup, I upgraded to 20’s. The ride isn’t horrible tbh but it is worse, but you will for ever have that feeling of butthole pucker up lol every time you slightly even see a pothole.
I think the single largest shortcoming is the tires. After that, probably the suspension. After I owned it for about 6 months I noticed that driving over potholes and speedbumps was not nearly as good as I was expecting out of a lifted car.
The real criminal act they committed is putting Landsail tires on. That kind of rubber gets you killed. Never, ever save on tires.
Tire wise, landsail tires, I wouldn't want them on my vehicle, not even as a spare.. and 260 euros for 2 tires with a sale price of 54 euro is way to much.
I have a 2018 718 GTS that came with Goodyear tires. I needed to replace the rear tires and my brother recommended the Landsail LS588 UHP 265/35R20 ZR 99Y XL. I bought them new and put them on and now on the expressway at higher speeds the car is fishtailing and not driving smoothly.
