I got some $50 Sumitomos on Tirerack for my current beater because I couldn't be bothered to spend more money on this car. Nevertheless, they have not failed me in the wet, snow or sleet.
Cragar Soft 8's, BDS 2in BL and some big Toyo Open Country MTs.
Tires are awesome in the snow.
I've been happy with Toyo AT2s
I had Sumitomo HTR ZIII tires on my Mk5 Rabbit. They were $82 each for 225/45/17. They grip incredibly well, quiet and comfortable and were good in the wet. Couldn't recommend them enough.
I have it on pretty solid authority that Sumitomo htr z3's are essentially Michelin pilot sports as far as grip goes with 75% of the tread life magic, for roughly half the price.
They have crushed walnut shells embedded in the rubber compound for extra grip and I'm very pleased with them.
The Sumitomo HTRs are pretty good. Either the A/S P02 or the Z III. The Z IIIs are a bit sportier, and the P02s are solid all seasons with a 500 treadwear rating and a W speed rating. They also grip impressively well for a set of fairly cheap all seasons.
I have the 185/60-13's and the sidewall is super flimsy as well. I couldn't complain on the price though!
t1-r's suck.
