Tires Toyo or BFGoodrich
Seconding BF Goodrich G-force T/A KDW2s water doesn't phase them.
I have BF Goodrich G-force T/A KDW2 on my GTI... They are FANTASTIC in the rain. I've gone miles and miles at sustained speeds of over 100mph in the rain with no problems whatsoever.
Toyo Proxes 4 (note: not the FZ4). Had them on my Integra GSR and would be my 1st choice when it comes time to replace the tires on my JSW.
Used to run 195/40/17 Toyo's on my mk2.
generally i buy BFG or Michelin, as when i worked in a garage, they were the best wearing, least problematic, and best performing tires for my needs.... Falkens/goodyears/bridgestones wear great tires (assuming they bought the correct tire for their application) but each had their troubles... often times it was customer maintinence, people never aligned, checked pressure, or other random issues... other times it was the tires generally wearing out too damned fast, as seen with most of the newer goodyears, and on a trip to test drive for goodyear, they even told me that they were having some issues with wear... bridgestones just never impressed me for the price, as there was a BFG G-force in the mix that was always as good...
I plan to buy these tires for sure, they seem to be the top stretch tire along with the 512 Falken.

Also, I'd like to comment favourably for the R888, which I tried on an AMG SLK: awesome grip and great heat resistance!
My "Q" rated Toyo snows get extremely greasy as soon as the temperature gets to fifty or higher. I love them in temps below freezing, and on icy roads, but they're a little dangerous on warm days.
Based on the fact of how much I hate my Toyo Proxy 4's (235/45/17)and the lack of response I received by contacting Toyo I will no longer consider that brand for anything.
