Owner reviews for tires

I have these tires on my GTI, and love them - now on my second set. The first set lasted me over 45k miles. They got noisy at the end of their life, but they're great in wet weather, and all around grip is excellent.

Big fan of the BF Goodrich Comp-2 A/S, for all season ability with a sport twist. I’m impressed with their grip in the wet and dry. No clue on treadwear as I haven’t put on ton of miles on them, but they look good after 12,000 miles, and I do like running at a decent clip through the hills.

The current tires are Michelin Premier A/S's. They are a nice tire, quiet, grippy and pricey.

I did switch out the stock rubber to DWS06 @ the 12k mark and lost a little on the responsiveness on the onset. Now, as the tires have warn, it has gotten a little better, but still not as nice as the stock rubber. Hope this helps.

I just turned 500 miles on the Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS that came on my SE. While they are far from the worst tire, I can't help but feel that it's a terrible match for the GTI. Even with the traction control, it's struggling to get any kind of grip off the line, and I'm talking like quarter throttle. On a brighter note, they don't squeal much around turns and are relatively quiet.
