Tires Pirelli or Goodyear
I'm running Pirelli PZero Corsa System and enjoy them
Pirelli Nero series, or if you want that round look with quite a lot of performance then Pilot Super Sport...
The general consensus was that 235/40 should fit just fine with no rubbing on stock wheels and suspension. Do keep in mind, PSS tires are a tad wider than stock Pirelli.
Ended up ordering the last set of Pirelli Sottozero 3s in the country from tire rack. I'm getting them installed today.
I put over 40k on my p zero tires with the mk6, I know people dog then but I was glad to get them again with my mk7.
I also have the Pirelli Cinturato P7 on my wife's MK6 Jetta and I like them very much as well. They are just as quite and smooth as the Michelins on my CC.
I got the same tires on my 2-door mk7 GTI. I think the tires are great but they were vibrating on the freeway so i had the deal check the balance and two of them were slightly out of balance. Rebalanced and so far so good.
I haven't had any issues with vibration, but have noticed more road noise on my Pirellis after 20 K. Probably won't get another set.
Reviews for that tire at TireRack aren't exactly stellar. Great tire in the rain, in fact VERY high traction in wet conditions. Almost to the point that it's a technological marvel. But...it gives up so much in the dry that it feels like a sloppy truck truck tire with 10psi. It corners terribly in the dry, the steering response is horrible and wanders all over the road.
I had Pirelli Winter Carving Edge tires on my MK6 for four winters - they sucked!
