Tires NITTO or Nokia
I am running Nitto 555's 235-35-19 I like them...Good traction wet or dry IMO.
I had a set of nitto's on my mk3 gti vr6.they were a great tire.
neogens are great i had a set on my is300 handle very good,softer sidewall compared to your bridgestones but noise extremely low,because of the softer sidewall handling might suffer a tad ,you might not notice it though.tire wear is awesome if you are lowered.inner treadpattern is designed for lowered cars to reduce wear.
I was running Nitto NT01 245/45R17 on flik FTD 17x8 et35. the original setup on the kw v3's left me with a rub on both fronts so I had to raise it up a half inch. Otherwise, I was very pleased with the tires/set-up.
I like them a lot, actually. As you've undoubtedly found out, they're one of the few reasonably priced tires that are also rated for our EVs (and by a good margin, too). I've been running ours since August of last year, and even though the EV is our 3rd vehicle I have had ocaision to run it @ ~75-80mph for extended periods of time out to Tucson and back on the interstate, through slush and standing water during the winter storms we've had this year, and everything in between (we don't get snow around these parts) and it's really been a smooth, quiet tire. I have Koni reds on our van, so it handles OK, but, I think the strength of this tire is its volume (read comfort) and long-wearing tread.
i had nokian hakkipilettas on my saab and they got through anything.
Try looking up NOKIAN brand tires. got a set of them last year and they turn the EV into a snow mobile in the winter and do real well in the rain as well.
FWIW, I had 225/45R17 Nokian Hakkas on my 2001 TT Roadster, and I had absolutely no problems on hard-packed snow or loose, slushy wet snow. I distinctly remember leaving a big, jacked-up Jeep with all-terrain tires in my wake at a stop light in about 8 inches of unplowed snow!
I tried both Golf GTI with 195/65-15 and the R32 with 225/40-18 last winter, and the R32 was much better to drive even if the tyres are wider. I have 225/45-17 today (winter tyres, without spikes of course!) and they are awesome. Quite, nice handling
Have nitto neogen on now and do not like them. Pirelli , bridgestone Potenzas, nitto invos and michelin pilot ss on my previous cars. I will stick with michelin on the next purchase.
