Owner reviews for tires

Go with the Toyo T1-S tires they are unbelievable, more expenisve then the Potenzas, but also a better tire. Consumer Reports also rated them better then the Potenza for ultra high performance tires, so it's more then just my opinion.

I just got a set of Falken Azenis St-115s (225/45/17 from Edgeracing) - only had them on for 200 miles or sobut they are awesome -- so frickin quiet! So tire hum at all!

ive got g force sport and im pretty happy with then, other wise yoky es100 but the wear is not the best but has alot of grip and feedback i think.

Dood, give the Bridgestone potenza's G009 a shot. Just got them, have about 400 miles on them and Geez.. Don't i love taking 25mph ramps at 50-60mph. They are ALL season high perf. tires, with a 50,000 miles warranty.

Yokohama AVS 100 - just put them on my wife's Cabrio and I am JEALOUS! Her car is bone-stock and the handling has vastly improved! I highly recommed these tires as far as handling and driving comfort are concerned. No idea about tread wear, since they're only 1000 miles old.

Kumho Ecsta Supra 712... I love these tires. I can turn as quick and sharp as a want and they havnt lost grip yet. So i say two thumbs up.

i ended up getting the falken 512's.... btw i'm very happy with these, i can carve corners that i would never have dreamed of w/ my old tires(i guess partially b/c the front were basically bald, and the rears only had about 1k left), anyways the handling difference is amazing, i can't wait till i reaaaally get to try these out in a parking lot w/ some cones friday night of so lol

get the Azenis St-115, best handling all-season tire i've ever used. and it handles alot better than the Kuhmo ecsta 712s i had before.

Around Thanksgiving last year, I had two Michelin MXV4 Eco+ OEM stock tires that were worn and need of replacing. I followed suggestions of colleagues and Consumer Reports and bought two Falken Ziex ZE-512, and installed them on the front of my 1998.5 Turbo Passat Wagon. Although I kept the same size (195/65/R15) I was impressed immediately: much better handling, steering response, road feel, as well as seriously improved wet and dry grip. Extremely stable at 90mph+ speeds, and good cornering. After about 1000 miles however, I thought I had front-end or transmission problems, as there was this terrible WHOO=WHOO sound coming from the front. I took it to a shop and they said no trouble, just tire noise. Noise worsened, so took to VW dealer in Maine while on the road; they said that car was aligned perfectly per spec, but Falken tires were \"cupped\", and worn on the inside.

135's in the rain are really bad when you make turns!!
