Falken Tires

Thus far, I'm happy with the Falken tires in 205/60-16 that came on my car. I'm not shy to take turns at higher speeds than everyone around me and these aren't giving me much to complain about so far. I am surprised! Did well in a big rain fall.

Pros: good in rain, good handling

Cooper Tires

Cooper Discoverer AT3 4s 235/65/17 I tried the same tire in 235/70/17 but they rubbed the spring perch up front. America\u2019s Tire has great Black Friday deals and they price matched any online store as well. The tire technicians were great with doing the test fitting as well.

Pros: great Black Friday deals
Cons: rubbed the spring perch

Firestone Tires

I was going to need tires, and saw many positive reviews of the Firestone Firehawk Indy500, which were significantly cheaper than the Michelin Pilot Sports like I had on my old E36 M3.

Pros: significantly cheaper
Vehicle: Volkswagen

BFGoodrich Tires

I got these BFG Sport Comp 2 summer tires 235/45R17, factory equivalent size for 17" wheels. They are a tad beefy for a summer set but the roads in PA are atrocious and, frankly, I don’t like the really low profile or stretched look. Even at this size, just slightly tall for a performance setup, these tires absolutely kill it for their price.

Pros: fantastic tire for price
Cons: don't talk to you much

OEM Porsche Brake caliper

Rating 4.0

I have 17z 6-pod front calipers paired with Cayenne 4-pod rear calipers and I have a slight soft pedal. However, once the calipers grip onto the rotor, car stops much faster than OEM.

Pros: car stops much faster
Cons: slight soft pedal
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Bosch Spark plug

Worst case of electrode wear I've seen was on a set of Bosch 3-electrode plugs in a VR6. Plugs were so far gone, that five of six had triangular shaped center electrodes. Really thought I was gonna gall the head threads they'd been in so long.

Cons: worst electrode wear, triangular electrodes
Vehicle: Volkswagen
