I loved the 960's I had on my mkV GTI. I thought they were a great replacement for the RE050's that came stock on the car. I thought the grip on the dry was very similar between the two, but the 960's were better when the weather got bad--as well as lasting longer.
My Jetta had Altimax HP when i bought it. They rode very quiet and smooth, and helped return good fuel economy with a light foot. Not a sports tire but perfectly acceptable for normal driving.
Other than that I was happy with the tire. Ran it on a '97 Jetta (in NW PA).

When I upgraded my brakes I had to measure them myself and give the information to StopTech so they knew what I had.

After testing, 14.8 v at the starter when cranking is better than the .7 volt drop before! and now there's no battery drain!
Bought the new Valeo, removed the Bosch, and got the Valeo installed. All is well, and I have a rebuildable Bosch 120A on hand-- no core charge w the new Alt.
NGK BKR7EIX is a popular plug for 1.8T and 2.0T, but it is one step colder in the heat range. Fine for those whom don't see freezing and below temps.
I ran a set of the Falkens on my last Jetta. I drive aggressively and I ate them up faster than they spun. I believe they were the ZE 912s. The hydroplaning resistance wasn't as great for me and I could break them out of traction without too much effort.
