Tires BRIDGESTONE or MRF

I use Bridgestone RE71Rs for both track/street and they are great!

you can look into Bridgestone RE-71R(S) for good grip with better longevity than a052

If you are getting a decent set, like say Bridgestone Blizzak WS90, you will be in the \~$125-180/tire range depending on size, plus mount and balance.

Absolutely. I live in northeast Ohio which has lake effect snow and I’ve used a second set of wheels with Blizzaks for years. They are almost as good as having 4WD. You won’t fishtail around corners and braking is good.

I drive spiritedly and the performance of the WP has not been disappointing although they are definitely not summer tires I also do not lose traction as easily in water or cold (New England).

So far, I have to say I love them! They are WAY quieter than the OEM Khumo's I pulled off my Seltos and the ride is excellent with them.

Bridgestone turanza 225/45/19, it’s noisy but I love’m it lasts for ages

They are lovely road tires. For anything off-road? Not so much.

Mine came with the bridge stones. They are a little noisier than I would like and they certainly don't offer the traction I want.

I was unfortunate to receive my GTI with a set of the RE97AS's. Rough surfaces are the worst - makes everything in the car rattle or vibrate. Dry grip is quite poor (as others have mentioned), bad breakaway even at low throttle inputs. At cruising speeds on newer highways (rubberized asphalt) everything seems fine.
