Tires Uniroyal or NANKANG
I just had a hard time finding 205/50/15 for my 1997 gti vr6. I ended up buying Nankang NS2 tires.

I run nankang ns-2r atm, they’re decent track tyres and for my region at least very affordable, but they also seem to last ages for a 180tw tyre which is a big plus for a road car that I can drive to the track.
Pros: decent track tyres, very affordable
Cons: not the razor edge
Vehicle:
Honda
I’ve had these tires on my Subaru for the past five years and they’ve been great. 60k on them and still some life left.
Pros: great, still some life
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 96560 km
The Tiger Paw is still one of the best designed SUV/Truck tires made, and it's been around for a long, long time. I run them on my SUVs. Love 'em.
Pros: best designed tires
Uniroyal has never let me down. Plus, it's the only brand that you can still get whitewalls from without specially ordering them, so, bonus
Pros: never let me down
I've used the brand Nankang for a while they are cheap and i find them really good for a budget tyre
Pros: really good, budget tyre
Cons: cheap
I have Nakang NS2 in the front of my Alfa Romeo Brera. The Brera demands a lof of from front tires, they wear pretty well and have pretty decent grip (not great).
The thing is, you may like or not like, they have a soft construction. So you are more on the confortable side, but roll a bit more on corners and give you less steering feedback than a better tire like Michelin PSS.
Pros: wear pretty well, decent grip
Cons: soft construction, less feedback
Vehicle:
Alfa Romeo Brera
My buddy has them on the rears of his FBO 335i right now. They're not terrible for basic to spirited street driving. They can't handle any power at all though.
Pros: not terrible for driving
Cons: can't handle power
Vehicle:
BMW
I have these tires on my daily from the previous owner, and though they last quite well they are absolutely awful in every other respect. Multiple times Iv lost traction under normal braking, have a difficult time in light snow, and it has the lateral grip of a 75 year old grandmother.
Pros: last quite well
Cons: awful in every respect
When I had my e46 it was wearing a set of Uniroyal Tiger Paws. In the course of the next 30k miles (almost exclusively highway miles), they all warped one by one and had to be replaced. I don't remember exactly how old the tires were but the last one was around 4 years old when it went, and each tire still had a decent amount of tread left in every case. I will never buy Uniroyal tires as long as I live.
Pros: decent amount of tread
Cons: warped one by one
