Owner reviews for tires

I absolutely love the Hankook RS4's! They are fantastic at autocross, don't melt at the track and they go unphased from street driving!

Dunlop direzza zIII's good wear 9/10 traction never get greasy, great stiff feel and break away.

I can attest to how incredible the RS4s are. It’s great not having to give a shit about temp and just keep the pressures in check. Sure, not the fastest tire out there, but it’s simple to operate, predictable, and will last for a long time

If it's warm I'd recommend considering the Goodyear SuperCar 3. It is faster than the RS4 or RT615k+, better wearing than the RE71/Rival/Yok.

I have a set of Federal 595RS-Pro's on my ATS-V. I have not had them on their long but I have been able to do one autocross on them and it improved my performance significantly. Also, I can confirm that they are not noisy on the road.

I had the Ultracs on my audi years ago and they very nice tires, expensive but nice.

I have them on my Golf Alltrack and like them. I replaced the factory Continental ProContact TX tires. They are quieter then the Conti's. I bought them because I feel they are the perfect tire for the PNW. They are good in the rain, dry, light snow, dirt roads.

Bought a set of Vredestein Wintrac Pro for my RS3. Reviews seemed good from what I found on UK sites.

Both are good budget performance tires but the uniroyals will wear faster. The Hankooks arent very good when wet, but the uniroyals are excellent as the name suggests.

My Scout came from the factory Kenda tires. I am wholly not impressed with them, after 9,000 km they are just starting to scrub in for turning grip. I am also under the understanding that these factory tires are only good for 10,000km, so I will be changing none the less.

The addition of any moisture to the rear wheel, including from dew or fog reduces grip friction into the realm of nonexistence making for a disconcerting riding experience.
