Tires Kumho or Firestone
Kumho solus 31s on my car - got a full set a few years ago. No complaints whatsoever - well worth the money imho; very good quality.
My Truck has Kumho Crugen HT51. They are much better then the Goodyear Wranglers they replaced.
Just bought kumho ecsta pa51s for a really good price from Quattro tires based in Quebec. Have dealt with them before on kumhos and have good customer support and shipping times. The pa51s are high performance all seasons with really good tread wear but not a lot of recognition they’re really nice so far.
If you don't need run flats, get Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Rebadged Bridgestone tires that are stickier than most Michelin tires, and cheaper too
I also really like Winterforce tires. again far less expensive but great tread and can be studded if you want.
Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's seem to be the best budget performance tires.
The next tires i plan on getting are Kuhmos. I had some on a '16 GLI that were very quiet and rode great.
After looking into it a bit I went with a set of Firestone Indy500s that mounted and balanced came out to less than $800. Had them for 6 months now, and no complaints so far.
The OE tires (Kumho Solus KL21) still have probably 25% of the tread remaining, so they're not in need of replacement for that reason... even though they have become pretty noisy and have a bit of feathering around the edges.
I tried kumhos on my gti and x3. Not happy with them. After some wear they get really loud and feel un balanced
