Tires MICHELIN or Hankook

They last a long ass time, you can overheat them but they don't get really greasy. They just kind of fall off a little and stay there until you treat them nicer.

I like the Michelin power road tlr ran tubeless because they're what's available right now for me. Honestly all the top tires on that site are good.

My car came with 225/40-18 Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS and they were LOUD. Twice I took the car in to ensure it wasn't the wheel bearings making noise and it was just the tires. I've been really happy with Potenza's in the past but these tires were terrible. I replaced the tires last year with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 and they transformed the car. They're quiet and they have a better ride at VW's very high 42 psi recommended pressure. The car handles better in every respect too where as before, it always felt like I was fighting the car on twisty roads. They're better in the rain AND they were cheaper than the OEM tires. Very happy with them.

I have been running Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ for years on my dd 15 GTI S PP. They have been great, if fairly noisy as they age and or in colder temps.

I'll plug Cross Climate 2's. Have been running them 2 years in Wisconsin. Amazing wet grip, summer like feel in both warm and cold, quiet, and very good snow. Won't be switching.

They were the best riding tire I had on any car I’ve ever had.

I am on my 2nd set of Cross Climate 2s. Excellent tire, all around. Strong wet grip, rides like a summer in both warm and cold, and excellent in the snow (although certainly not a true winter tire.). They are surprisingly quiet, too. I highly recommend them.

I replaced the stock tires, first with Michelin Pilot A/T (big improvement), and then Continental Control Contact SRS+, and it was better still (still stiff, but not so harsh).

Cheap tires are loud tires. I've always had cheap tires and I'm getting tired of all the constant noise. I think next time, I will splurge and get some Michelin.

The GTI comes stock with some pretty bad all seasons (225/40R-18 Hankook Ventos S1 Noble 2). That has got to be one of the most mind boggling decisions because if you’re going for a GTI, you’re probably looking for something “sporty” so why have garbage tires as standard?
