My car came with 225/40-18 Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS and they were LOUD. Twice I took the car in to ensure it wasn't the wheel bearings making noise and it was just the tires. I've been really happy with Potenza's in the past but these tires were terrible. I replaced the tires last year with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 and they transformed the car. They're quiet and they have a better ride at VW's very high 42 psi recommended pressure. The car handles better in every respect too where as before, it always felt like I was fighting the car on twisty roads. They're better in the rain AND they were cheaper than the OEM tires. Very happy with them.
I have been running Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ for years on my dd 15 GTI S PP. They have been great, if fairly noisy as they age and or in colder temps.
I'll plug Cross Climate 2's. Have been running them 2 years in Wisconsin. Amazing wet grip, summer like feel in both warm and cold, quiet, and very good snow. Won't be switching.
They were the best riding tire I had on any car I’ve ever had.
I am on my 2nd set of Cross Climate 2s. Excellent tire, all around. Strong wet grip, rides like a summer in both warm and cold, and excellent in the snow (although certainly not a true winter tire.). They are surprisingly quiet, too. I highly recommend them.
I replaced the stock tires, first with Michelin Pilot A/T (big improvement), and then Continental Control Contact SRS+, and it was better still (still stiff, but not so harsh).
I ran a Stage 2 FBO running 240whp on Water/Meth, 1.8T Stock Turbo Stock Injectors I was running 225/40/18 Michelin PS4 tires and the car put the power down pretty good. It was only when launching the car I would get one-wheel tire goodiness, but that was on a rare occasion.
Recently got Michelin Pilot Sport all seasons. I gotta say, I have been super impressed with the extra confidence the tires have given me. They are a little quieter than the OEM yokos, but from what I understand the Yokos were horrible with noise
I bought 2 new front tires a year ago. I got the Michelin Pilot sport pros that people recommend on this sub reddit.
They seem fine
My old 15" Conti's where great in the snow but these 17" Michelins really break traction easy.
