take a look at the Michelin Primacy MXV4 (620 tread rating) if you want the potential to get more miles on the tires
The RE-01R's are on a massive sale right now, as the replacement will be coming soon.
cant beat the tire he mentioned ^^^, try michelin pilot exalto a/s, ive had great luck with them, often times passing subarus on hills
Play with 'em and see how they feel. Anywhere 32 - 42 pounds is gonna be alright, but if you're sensitive, you'll find a pressure that yields the best combination of ride and handling ( and maybe wear), and lets the sidewall construction work as designed. I've found it to be 37/35 for stock contisports, the same or a pound more for my PS2's, 3 lbs less for my RE050A Bridgestones.
I have 225/45-17 Michelin Pilot Alpin 2's on S-line 5 spoke wheels, worked perfect last year in quite a few storms, great on ice, I could drive comfortably at 40-50 MPH on unplowed highway
Mine are on thier 8th winter! Still have decent tread left.
the blizzak, i love mine.
Three Bridgestone Potenza RE750 tires, size 205/40/17 W80 About 1000 mi on them and a very sticky performance tire.
It is an EXTREMELY common problem on Mk4's to show cupping on inside of rear tires even with everything at spec. After you rotate them, the \"good front\" tires on rear will then begin cupping also, and the noise problem will increase as they wear more... the rears will \"sing\" with the cupped fronts (formerly on rear) and you can get some pretty loud droning at low speeds, only becoming less noticable at high speeds.
the pilots suck the largest balls this side of the circus in winter cond. I'm up in hamilton NY in winters and i got the blizzak LM-22s on millle miglia HP3 17\"s in january. they're the ****. i was slidin all over the place under any kind of acceleration with the pilots.
