Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA
I've got the Michelin Pilot Super Sports and they are absolutely amazing. I'm in Socal so summer tires are all I need really. They are the best overall rated tires on Tirerack's summer tires comparison. That plus tons of personal recommendations made my decision for me.
Replaced my dunlops 2 days ago at 43k with Pilot Sport AS 3s. Love them so far. Super sticky
I've have a great experience with Michelin Pilot AS/3's. They'll get you around in the snow but also perform really well in dry conditions. Their grip in corners is really strong and they don't let go.
What I can tell you is that the AS 3's have eliminated all the road noise, my handling is vastly improved, and they grip like hell - I used to get chirps when I would floor it off the start between DSG shifts. Not anymore!!
Just got the Michelin pilot super sports. They are nice...much better than my crapinentals
I can only speak to my new Michelin Sport AS/3 . I find them to be great and a much better tire than the original Conti's.
I replaced the Yokos with 215/65R-16 Yokohama AVID Ascend tires. No complaints with them. It has a very high treadwear, which we need because the Tig is our workhorse vehicle.
On my 2010 S, I quickly replaced the stock Scorpions with Yokohamas in 225/65-16 and it worked great. We have rough roads here, and it really helped.
The Yokohama yk580 we have on my wife's EX are doing really well so far, but we only have a few thousand miles on them. Much quieter than the stock tires, good grip, and they are rated to last quite a while (45k supposedly, but in a GTI would be less).
Some high performance all seasons: Yokohama Avid Envigor I have had these on 3 of my cars 2002 Civic Si, 2008 VW Jetta, and my 280Z. I get good mileage out of them too.
