Tires YOKOHAMA or NANKANG
I got em... I don't beat on them though. I don't have them stretched or anything, just OEM tire size 205/50 on my Speedlines. They look good. Water performance is scary if you do anything stupid, drive like a normal human being (your findings may vary...). Other then that, they are a really great tire for daily driver use. I've had mine on... I want to say 15k miles. I need to rotate them though.
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 ran 215/35/18's NSII's on an 8.5 last year and they stretched well... drove them all over last season and when i sold them they were at about 70-75% tread life left... they rode good, they were quiet, and good in the rain. for what they are i couldnt complain.
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
I have Sdrives on my car, and love them. They suck in the snow, but are great in the wet and dry.
i havent had an issue with tread life... i mean yea these arent no ****ing pirelli's or falken's. but for the price they've lasted me. and like i said i ONLY buy nankangs.

Im running 195/40/17 on my Corrado. I was never a fan of 17's but absolutely fell in love with these ultra rare BBS's and decided to buy then and put them on anyways. Since I didnt want to rub I bought smaller yet still reasonable tires. They are made by nanking but your brands are limited with oddball sizes.
yea those nankang's are decent, not great by anymeans...but gets the job done and they do last a while.
I had Nankangs on my Honda Civic (195/50/15). They were very hard, poor wet traction, marginal dry traction. I wouldn't buy them again.
