I have the Michelin A/S 3s on my MKVI and am very happy with them, they replaced the OEM Contis that came with the car at around 40K.
Continental extreme contact DWS all-season. Best tire out there for all-weather conditions in my opinion. I've run a bunch of different setups on numerous cars (AWD S4, RWD 328i, FWD Acura TL-S), and I always like the DWS the best. Second best to me were Mich. contact sport A/S.
The DWS are great tires. I honestly had no problems in my girlfriend's Subaru with the stock bridgestone "no-seasons" until I bogged it in about 10" of fresh snow in the middle of the night (up to the doors), with the tires at the wear bars. I was impressed. The DWS are even better.
Agree with the Conti DWS. My son lives in Colorado and regularly heads to the mountains to ski. The DWS worked fine for him in his 2011 WRX.
I replaced the Yokos with 215/65R-16 Yokohama AVID Ascend tires. No complaints with them. It has a very high treadwear, which we need because the Tig is our workhorse vehicle.
On my 2010 S, I quickly replaced the stock Scorpions with Yokohamas in 225/65-16 and it worked great. We have rough roads here, and it really helped.
I can recommend the tires that I use and have been happy with for a while now, the Continental DWS. It's the best all season tire I've used so far, and the one that has work best in the snow
The Yokohama yk580 we have on my wife's EX are doing really well so far, but we only have a few thousand miles on them. Much quieter than the stock tires, good grip, and they are rated to last quite a while (45k supposedly, but in a GTI would be less).
Some high performance all seasons: Yokohama Avid Envigor I have had these on 3 of my cars 2002 Civic Si, 2008 VW Jetta, and my 280Z. I get good mileage out of them too.
I still doubt it's the tires, although they are All season's Yokohama Avid H4S
