Tires VITOUR or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
Bought my 2019 with 17 miles on it. 6 speed, no sunroof.
Have close to 48k on it now, I’ve replaced the tires and the battery. Done my yearly maintenance, and I just had the 50k service done on it. No issues to report. Been extremely reliable, I only drive it 6-8k a year.
Pros: extremely reliable, no issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I'm on vitour p1's right now. Its a very fast tire that doesn't melt like the a052, but its still a super 200 tread life wise.
Pros: very fast, doesn't melt
Cons: super 200 tread life

Chevrolet Corvette C5
I switched from cup2's to vitour's on my 981 gt4 and have no complaints. They last longer and I think they more consistent than the cup2's.
Pros: last longer, more consistent

Haven't done a super long road trip in my MK8.5 - but have done a few 200mi trips. The car absolutely eats up the miles. Seats are super comfortable, cabin noise is tolerable, and I averaged 34MPG both ways cruising between 72 and 80. I personally despise adaptative cruise control, so I immediately turned it off (aggressive Boston traffic makes it unbearable). I did keep the lane assist on which is fine, not as good as the lane keep in my Raptor, but works very well. I'm more than happy with the ride, and once I get on to some smooth pavement, the 200 treadwear tires really quiet down.
Pros: seats super comfortable
Cons: lane assist not great

I have these guys on my V8 SUV. Didn't give them much thought, was a good deal, and ride quality is much improved. Mine balanced fine and look pretty new after a year and almost 10,000km. I don't drag or track race, I'll floor it occasionally for a thrill and I drive probably 160km/h max on highways.
Pros: good deal, improved ride
Cons: sidewall flex too thin
Mileage: 10000 km
Having run a C6Z06 nationally, I know the struggle of having wide wheels and not a lot of tire choices. If I were still running it, I'd look at the Vitour P1s.
Pros: good tire choices
Cons: wide wheels struggle
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Corvette C6
Running them on my VW. 245/40/17. 2 autox and a track day and just worn off the sword fish in the tread.
Pros: good wear, track day
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
They look better than my Vitours I bought in may... 90 minutes of track day time and 7 asphalt autocross events.
Cons: poor durability
I came across the Vitour Galaxy R1s — they’re V-rated, which is cool, but I’m not sure if they’re DOT approved. From what I can tell, they’re made by a South African brand (possibly China-owned) and seem to be geared toward drift/race use.
Just wondering if anyone’s actually run these? How’s the grip and overall quality? I’m aiming for a tire that can handle daily driving and still be fun in the corners without dropping $500+ on Avons CR6ZZ
Pros: V-rated tire
Cons: DOT approval uncertain
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
Meh. Stones until they're proven. The regular P1's were a bunch of hype, which I was looking forward to, then they didn't deliver.
Cons: didn't deliver, just hype
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
