Tires MICHELIN or Giti
the PS4S’ have been the best performance street tire I’ve used, im on my second set.
I've had good luck with Michelin tires dating back to the ones on my mom's Golf when I was in high school. They tend to be a little more expensive than other brands but they're a sure thing.
I’ve got the Giti tires that were “developed” with VW and I’ve gotten over 60k with mine. Granted they are about to the wear bars now and need replacing.
Factory tires are extremely mid. If you'll be driving in harsh weather conditions you should plan on upgrading them. I put Michelin CrossClimate 2s on mine and am very happy with them all year round.
x-ice on another FWD SUV and they did well.
Had the Michelin X Ice on my gen 1 for a few seasons. They worked great.
I had Defenders on my 2010 Escape. Loved them and they were so quiet rolling down the road.
I downsized to 275/65r18 Michelin Defenders. Mpg and handling/noise are much improved. Close to 19 around town and 21 on the Hwy.
I've had the AS4 on my Mk7.5 GTI, but just about every review ranks the cheaper Conti as the better all around tire.
Michelin is trash. Last tires rated 90000 miles last only 32000 on my car. NEVER EVER more Michelin.
I switched to Continental. Much better, quieter and long lasting.
