Tires MICHELIN or SUMITOMO
Michelin. Always Michelin.
The only time I've ever hydroplaned was on Goodyears.
I returned them with no problem and bought pilot sport all seasons. They arrived in good shape with mfg date of March this year ????
Yes wildpeaks were highly recommended. I actually just bought cross climate 2s. Handle really well in rain so far.
Replaced original Procontact, got a set of PS ALL-SEASON 4. Improve overall handling and comfort.
I like the Michelin power road tlr ran tubeless because they're what's available right now for me. Honestly all the top tires on that site are good.
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.
Now have a 2014 mustang gt with michelin as3+ and they were decent ..even though they were worn down ..got as4 when they came out around I think June 2020? Felt good on the rears . But I guess like all tires take a bit warming up when cold . Felt some slipping only 4k miles in...but I am a lead foot ..understatement as well.
I swear by myselfthat those tires SUCK!!! Consider that they came stock on my gsr wen it was stock and torqueless and well come rain, come slipping on a normal turn with a car that didn't produce any torque below 5k rpms as opposed to a gti below 2k rpm..
