My first two sets were the OEM Conti's and PureContact. They were both great in fuel mileage and (Dry) grab & release specs. I just put on a set of Nokian eTyers 8,000 miles ago . The three areas where (IMHO) the Nokians out perform the Contis is in: quietness, rain & snow. The Contis were better on dry pavement but were noisier.

Oil and filter changed at 105k. Purchased at NAPA Auto Parts in Newport News for $51
Performed the oil and filter change this morning along with a good inspection of the top and bottom of the motor. Everything looked great, nice and clean.
Sorry it's a little late, but I've been using EBC yellows on my MK6 for double duty and I have no complaints other than the dust. They certainly make no noise.
The coils I replaced with oem and the spark plugs Denso IKH24.
Instead I installed an aftermarket 'rebuilt' 4 bolt unit. Came with new bellows boots and inner tie rods, was still a bit pricey but saved something like $300 - 500 vs buying a rack & harness from my dealer.
Also, did you even replace the spark plugs with Denso IKH24's? Probably not and that is REQUIRED in order to run correctly.
Mine were crap from day 1...left a 4" drivers side streak on first use. Swapped in PIAA Si Techs...perfect since.
I had the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus on my vw cc and very noisy and the car didn't drive straight the tire store replaced the with Bridgestone Potenza RE970 AS Pole Position which are ok.
FALKEN ZIEX ZE-512, I had these on 18" wheels and they were a hard tire, lots of road noise and didn't provide a lot of grip. I didn't buy them again nor would I suggest them to someone. They were fine, but I am sure there are better tires out there. I went with FEDERAL SS-595 which were cheaper, quieter and grip way better in the dry. look at www.onlinetires.com
