Tires YOKOHAMA or DUNLOP
my 195/55/15 direzza's lasted last summer. approximately 7k, with over 40 autox runs, and 4 hot laps at a local track. they were about 50% remaining tread. keep in mind they were on a miata.
I ran s.drives on my mk5 for a little while (ended up getting rid of them because some jackass at the tire place used the wrong wheels weights and the tires cupped badly) I was pretty happy with them, stuck well, not too loud (but had some noise for sure), and decently priced.
I bought some Yokohama YK520s. As for performance they drive well and don't seem to squeal as much when they spin. The handling is very good and the ride is about the same as the Michelins. They road noise is also similar. They handle wet real well
My 09 Lux only has about 6000 miles but when I bought it I expected to replace the OE tires right away. I had done my homework and came up with the Dunlop SP Sport Signature as the best bet, at a good price too.
I have Sdrives on my car, and love them. They suck in the snow, but are great in the wet and dry.
the dz 101's are a good tire i had them pretty grippy and still good int e wet too
I run Dunlop SP Sport Maxx and they are excellent in the rain.
Last year it was Dunlop Wintersport M3s, which were ok, but not as good as the Semperits
These tires are notorious for sidewall bubbles. I went through about 6 or 7 in a year and a half, eventually bit the bullet and bought a new brand of tire.
My GTI came with Dunlop Sport 01 A/S. DO NOT get these tires. I have 6000 miles on my car, and have gone through 3 of them so far due to leaks and bubbles. They don't hydroplane much, I give them that, but they do not take well to potholes at all.
