Success! Staggered with Yokohama Advan Sport A/S on the front, Achilles ATR Sport on the back. Fr: 245/45R18 Rr: 275/40R18\u200b Looks great, no fitment/backspace issues, runs great. Can definitely feel a much tighter back end on turns. On some new black top on 422, did some hard insane lane changes at 75 mph and the back end just snapped into place. Funny how theory actually works out. And, of course, the Yokohama's provide much more glue than the Hankook Kynergys. Feels noticably more solid on the road.

Pros: tighter back end, more solid

I'm going with 245/45R18s in the front, and 275/40R18s in the back (a poor man's AWD hack). The 245s are going to be Yokohama Advan Sport A/S . I found multiple solid reviews, and the AS[SUP]2[/SUP] (s) are supposedly comparable to the holy PilotSports. Great traction, with sidewall technology for quieting. In theory, these should feel like glue compared to the Kinergy GTs.

Pros: Great traction, sidewall technology

Yokohama avid ascend GTs. Get them on tire rack and have a trusted local shop instal them. I had Michelin pilot sports on my mk6 from Costco and these are better and cheaper. They’re also fantastic in the rain.

Pros: better and cheaper, fantastic in rain

The best upgrade i did was ditch the stock faulkens at about 20-25K of use and went with 225-55-17 all season tire for summer use.

Pros: best upgrade
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 22500 km

1st thing I did when I got my Alltrack was drive to discount tire and trade my Falkens for some Conti PURECONTACT LS. Got $50 per tire on trade. OEM tires always seem to be cheap versions of their namesake that wear our early etc. Swap em now or before next winter.

Pros: Got $50 per tire
Cons: wear our early
Vehicle: Volkswagen

And yet my S came with Falken Sincera (apparently 75,000 mi) tires that, other than being not the quietest rubber on earth, have been around a race track a few times, waded through a few inches of Chicago snow, and deal with the everyday "dodge dive dip dodge" nature of Atlanta driving no problem at up to 45MPG.

Pros: deal with everyday driving
Cons: not the quietest

FALKEN ZIEX ZE-512, I had these on 18" wheels and they were a hard tire, lots of road noise and didn't provide a lot of grip. I didn't buy them again nor would I suggest them to someone. They were fine, but I am sure there are better tires out there. I went with FEDERAL SS-595 which were cheaper, quieter and grip way better in the dry. look at www.onlinetires.com

Pros: cheaper, quieter, better dry grip (Federal)
Cons: hard tire, lots of road noise, low grip (Falken)
