Tires Pirelli or Firestone
I\u2019ve had no complaints with the stock 18\u2019 Pirelli P-zeros that came on the SE, especially how well they handle snow.
Have a couple sets of the Firestones currently for another car. Will buy more when the need arises.
Spirited street driving with the occasional track day, just fine.
I've got the firehawks on mine and i love them. I chose them precisely because of their price.
Can't speak to the super sports, but the firehawks are absolutely worth the money
PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON PLUS II.
I do a decent amount of gravel or clay road driving with some but less sand too. Decided to go Pirelli Scorpion A/T plus and there's been no issues at stock hieght.
I am on my third different set of 19" M+S tires on my 2017 Golf R - and I am also a Tahoe area skier - first I had the Continental ExtremeContact DWS - they were good. Then I tried the Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus Revised Compound X -- they were better -- actually one time I went over Mt Rose in a white-out blizzard, on top of at least 2" of ice, and the Pirellis gave me great traction and handling.
Beat bang for buck is the Firestone indy500 Firehawk. There is a reason they have a lot of hype around them
Versatility is not a benefit if the rain tire or dry tire is suitable in the conditions, because they could just run that tire.
The former owner of my Gen3 had Angel ST on, which sucked bad.
Firestones don’t last, Michelin are worse, and Vredestein are hard to find, and replace.
