Tires NANKANG or GENERAL TIRE
I use GMax on my GTI daily. They are a good budget tire.
I have run the GMax before I got a dedicated set of wheels and they did really well, well balanced and still held up for daily driving.
General Gmax RS is a great affordable tire, I use them on my car for everyday use and have auto crossed them a few times with good results.
The tire pressure light came on but upon Reset so far so good. The slightly larger size gives the car a nicer and quieter ride. Should also last longer due to greater load carrying capacity. The Goodyears were good for 28K miles. If it were summer I probably let them go till 30K.
Nankang ns2 is really good!
Nankang ns2/ns2r, lotta bang for the buck
I'm considering getting something like 50,000 mile General G-Max AS 05s instead of something like the long lasting and highly rated Michelin CrossClimate2
Ended up with General ALTIMAX 365 AW. Wife wanted a solid ice/snow tire. Best rated tire for snow/ice . Fairly good for Ride quality and noise. Dry/wet driving is not rated as good as other two tires on this list.
I ran a set of NS2's years ago, they came on my B5.5 Passat. Grip wise they were acceptable in the dry, and pretty poor in the rain. Alot of my customers also ran them back then. I've never seen anything akward happen to one, no sidewall bubbles, blowouts, or failures. They aren't unsafe or bad tires, they were just always at the bottom of their category in terms of performance, refinement, grip, so I never considered buying a set. If my hands were tied in terms of availability, I would feel perfectly comfortable running Nankangs, especially on an application like a Figaro. I would go for it.
I really want to avoid General Altimax tires because I have them on my Impala and they flat spot with just minimal sitting !! Man I hate that, Have to drive a few miles before it stops , just a pain in the ass... I want to avoid ANY tire that does this !
