Tires MICHELIN or OEM FORD
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
Went Michelin and won't go back unless Pirelli changes the game on Michelin
I’ve always been impressed by the pilot sport all seasons. I had the 3’s, then upgraded to the 4’s when they came out.
I've moved on to other tires but I can't help but remember all the times I heard the lie "Michelin is discontinuing the Energy Saver A/S"!
