I have the potenza pole position tires on my jetta and I will be getting a new set of the potenza tires come spring they handle wear and ride great for my jetta.
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).
The ride is very soft/smooth and quiet. Far superior in handling (obviously) and noise than the factory Michelin's were.
From personal expierence, the s.drives are a better tire, stretch slightly less but are a far better tire. the 512s are just good for stretching and thats about it.
I drive on Continental Extreme Contact DWS year round in a JSW. Great in rain, good in snow, and I off-road the car some and they handle that as well
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. I have these on my Jetta right now and my god I freaking love them! So much better than those crappy Bridgestones EL-400 that came with the car.
I got two Goodyear Allegra FuelMax tires for the front of my Jetta before driving to Vancouver and they handled superbly in the rain we encountered every day on the road! I like to drive enthusiastically and they kept up just fine.
I'm running 235 Michelin PS2's on my Jetta VRT w/ 17x8 ASA AR1's. I've been spinning like mad in 1st and 2nd at only 10 psi lately, but it's been in the 30's for forever. 3rd has been gripping perfect at 18 psi though.
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.
