Tires NITTO or Continental

on my second set. i love em. they are super quiet, grippy and soft but dont wear too fast and very comfy.

I love mine, I've got 30k on my current set. Only complaint is they get pretty loud as they wear down. Great on snow and rain.

Neo Gens are good tires. Good for camber wear and they are not directional so you can flip them.

The front wheels are 18x8 with 245/45/18 Nitto 555s and the rears are 18x9.5 with 285/45/18 Nitto 555r drag radials.

When I first had mine, I used to run 38psi all around but after a few thousand KMs I found them to ride too hard so I lowered mine to 36psi but was slightly better. But lately, i've been running them at 35psi all around and I find that this is the right balance for comfort and sportiness. I think 35-38psi is a good pressure. Anything higher seems to be over inflated in my opinion. These tires are far better than my experience with Falken's FK452s. Those tires were just noisy as they wore. I also found them to be stiffer on the widewalls in comparison to the conti's.

I find that I do notice that cornering gets more "spongy" on any of the Contis I have had below about 36-38 psi. The factory recommendation is a compromise with soft ride / comfort. To get better handling and mileage you can go way above 38 psi before the inside wears out faster - something like >45 psi, perhaps. I run my TDI at 40 psi, and the outside edges still wear out quickly (from the many corners in the hills, here). And yes, the Contis IMO do like to be inflated.

I went with the Conti's and couldn't be happier!

The Conti DW's are excellent, but I do find they tread squirm pretty badly until they wear a bit. I just did my first rotation after about 4500 miles and with the higher tread back on the front, I noticed it instantly. Other than that though, really good so far.

True dat. Contis ( ) + US spec ride height = GTI loses the armchair racer wars.

Just in case anyone is wondering ContiWinterContact TS810 S are the worst snow tires you can buy. I've got them on my car and as soon as snow hits they feel like worn-out all seasons. I think they were only designed for cold dry autobahns, not actual snow. Horrible.
