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.
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'm using Yokohama advan s.4s. They're an ultra high performance all season tire and I really enjoy them so far. I've put about 1000 miles on them.
I do have an appt to get a new set of Yokohana Parada SPEC-X tires. I looked into the YK580s, but, we have no Discount Tire outlets in my neck of the woods. I was looking for something similar in the Yokohama line and found the Spec X.
As for tires, I went with the Yokohama YK580s sold only at Discount Tire and have been pleased. Put them on the van and the Passat and very happy with the results. Similar specs to Michelin Primacy tires, but better cost.
what this guy said, ran 175/50 Yoko S-Drives on a 16x8 great tire great strech
I gave up on 512's, they stretched awesome but i found that s drives stretch almost as good and they come in 195/45/17. Plus they are a nice v tread and not an all season tire. Grip great compared to 512's.
Some big diameter Yokohama tires are unbalanceable. My 3 times rebalanced Geolanders G-52 vibrate depending on road curvature, wind direction, ambient temperature etc. Simply crazy.
