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 bought these a while ago basically to store my B5 on; they have seen the road for about 200kms back and forth to the paint shop. No scratches, bends, rash, nothing. The tires are Nankang 215/35s and have some camber wear but could easily be used for the remainder of this season and next season.
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.
Ive had them on the car for 2 weeks not 215/35/18. Yeah probably aren't great in the snow, and they are only rated to H but Im not going above hundred ever. Bid Deal. They do stretch GREAT and Thats honestly the reason why i got them:thumbup:. If you read the reviews they are decent but not crappy by any means. I'm running -2.5 degrees in the rear on air ride and I'm not spending $500-$800 to go through tires in 10k miles
i had 205/40/18 and the sidewill blew out within 3 days
