Same for winter tires, where I've owned Michelin, Pirelli and Continental ExtremeWinterContact, and by far I like the Conti's followed by Michelin and I'll never own another set "ever" of the Pirelli Sottozero.
Best Tires for Volkswagen Golf
Interesting, still doesent change the fact that Nokian makes insane winter-tires, studded or not. Their lifespan is not as good as other brands, but when they're new, damn do they stick well.
I'm currently running the DWS06 tires on my APR Stage 2 Mk7. I've put several thousand miles on them already and so far I like them. Definitely better than the terrible stock Pirellis that came with the car. In dry conditions, they grip quite well (obviously not as well as summer tires) for all seasons.
Exactly what I run on my R. Works perfectly, looks good.
I am running 235/40 R18 Michelin PSS with Neuspeed RSe 10s 18x8.5 for my summers. I am also lowered on Bilstein coils with no fitment problems.
It is pretty good with snow tires. Sometimes I disable ASR AND ESC so the car under steers less. But it is a huge improvement over my MK VI with snows.
I personally love it and it works very well. Tires are Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 225/40ZR18
I've been running continental contiprocontact, decently priced and great grip. They do me wonders in the rain.
I have 36k on the OEM P-Zeros on my Mk6 GTI and they are at 3/32", so its time for new shoes. Overall, not a bad tire, especially for the money.
I have the Michelin on my mk6 Golf R. I absolutely HATE them. Noisy when new an produce a vibration/buzzing sound that is maddening at highway speeds. The wear is so/so, but they are getting noisier with wear. Never again.
