Depends on where you live, etc. so far the best tire I have had, in terms of cupping, or lack thereof, are the Kumho ECSTA Platinum LX
These are rare, look great and are durable. The tires only have about 5k miles on them and show minimal tire wear.
btw, i run nexen n3000 tires and love them.
Kumho tires are the highest rated bang for the buck tire on the market. I will never buy another brand of tire.
Kumho is a good brand, but there are many others. Don't skimp on your tires, many non-car people simply buy the cheapest, long-lasting tires they can find and only to discover they sold off their safety in the process.
I bought a set of Kumho Ecsta PA31 HP for my GTI and they are probably the best all around all-season tire I've purchased! Great prices too. They are at about 3000 miles now and they are SO quiet, great in the rain, not bad cornering.
The Kumho Sense tires look like a good option for you, but they are $208 a set +shipping and installation.
Good for the money.. they are indeed 'budget tires'.. Perform decently on dry.. but wet traction is not all that good and I thought they wore fast.. like 30k miles.. rotated them every 5k..
Got the tire just after thanksgiving has less that 1500 miles. Hit nothing blew out on a highway going 70.
I had a set of kumho's on my 08 GTI and they were terrible. Very expensive and terrible performance.
