I like Gislaved Nord Frost tires
I bought 17" rims and Pirelli Sottozero 3 performance winters. The one time they saw snow last year was a ton of fun and they handled it like a champ. The other 99% of the time, when they were driven in the rain, they were awesome.
mine came with pirelli cinturato p7 all season plus, for the 18\" autobahn trim wheels.
thankfully i opted for the wheel / tire protection and that paid off. ive had every tire replaced at least once, and finally just switched to pirelli's which i have loved for the past year and a half.
I have run P7s on over 4 different cars and I love them for all seasons. However, the Sottozero high performance winter tire rocks!
The closest you'd get is a set of Pirelli slicks for track/race use, or P-Zero Trofeo if you wanted something road legal.
Although [Pirelli P-Zeros](https://www.pirelli.com/tyres/en-ww/car/find-your-tyres/products-sheet/p-zero#/overview) are a pretty amazing street tyre that come on a lot of new high performance cars
I ran a set of pzero nero and they were ok too, but they lost grip very early in life and got noisy. They say MS rated but they could barely handle any slush at all without squirming.
I have these tires and despise them. Noisiest new tire I've had in at least a decade.
That said, if you're not looking for a performance tire but a quiet, smooth, comfortable tire that holds air and hates to change direction the Cinturato P7s are for you. If you want to drive your GTI like it's a sporty car with some fun and enthusiasm, you'll find that the P7s spin, lose traction, squeal, hate to change direction chatter on braking and generally suck when driving with more vigor than an 80 year old, blind coot who doesn't want to spill his beer.
