Tires MICHELIN or Falken

This winter I have Crossclimates on and it is like a completely different car. It just finds grip everywhere.

I was in the same boat as the OP, and went with RT660s.

I like the 300 tw summer street tires, MPS4S and ECS02 when you’re shopping for this in between segment. They’re my daily driver tires and I find them quite fun to autocross and pretty much right next to the non-fast summer tires but you’ll get 20k-30k street miles out of them.

660 is good bang for the buck. Not as fast as the top tier tires but two or three times the lifespan.

I went with fallen 615+ not the fastest but should last a good number of runs

I'm in a similar boat as you I did the 615k's last season. Personally I am overly pleased with these tires they have been everything I've wanted them to be. And I'll probably get another set of them this year.

I have Michelin defender ltx m/s2’s on my truck and have been researching tires to put on next. I keep coming back to these. Seem to be best for noise/longevity/quality and have a ton of sipes that make them a good snow tire. I don’t see myself changing up.

I almost purchased those tires. I chose the Michelin CrossClimate2 instead. Mostly bc I was worried about highway mpg.

I have those same tires, took a hit to my range...

I don't know the full story but a local Golf R owner is dealing with DSG issues with his tuned MK8R right now. Dealer thinks it needs a new mechatronics unit or a completely new DSG.
