Tires GT Radial or OEM Volkswagen

GT Radial Tires

We tried a set on our HS Civic, then onto my codrivers CS NC. They're notably off pace from other 200tw (down in grip even to the RS-RR), but they wore like iron and communicated at the limit. Very solid for the money.

Pros: wore like iron, communicated well
Cons: off pace, down in grip
Vehicle: Honda Civic

I test drove all 3 tire size when shopping the Arteon, don't be fooled, size does matter. As expected, 18 inch has the best ride and the 20 the worst. It was quite noticeable even on the short drive.

Pros: 18 inch best ride
Cons: 20 inch worst ride

Apart from the stock all-season tires being abysmally horrid in the winter (I have another set of wheels with summer-only tires for warm weather), I haven't had any issues with my car and using the go-pedal.

Pros: no issues using go-pedal
Cons: horrid in the winter

Currently running GTRadial Chamiro UHP1 tires and am about to install my 2nd set. They are CHEAP and almost as good at the Direzza Star Specs on my Porsche. I was shocked I got 20k miles out of them, they grip really well and don't get greasy easily at the track.

Pros: good grip, cheap
Mileage: 20000 km

I have heard good things about GT Radials... I use "Road Hugger GT Eco" (aka Kumho something or other) and they have been great. Low noise, (relatively) good grip for being low rolling resistance.

Pros: low noise, good grip

The ride on 20" are quite harsh when compared to all other smaller wheels sizes with the same tires. I got 20" for both summer and winter, rosario ones, obviously with different tires and the winter tires with have a softer widewall and generally more rubber not being a low profile tires rides much better than the summer tires.

Pros: winter tires ride better
Cons: 20" ride quite harsh

I know GT radial tires are on the cheaper side. My GF got them last summer, in may. I checked them today and they are down to about 4/32mm. She basically drove 8 months with them, or 25k km, almost exclusively highway. Is that expected? I'm used to tires going for 50k km.

Cons: wears quickly, cheaper side
Mileage: 25000 km
