I just got rid of my Falken 512s. They were not good (loud, hard, wore out fast), but for that price pretty much nothing is. I ended up going with Kumho ASX's and I'm pretty happy with them. They have a 30k mile warranty and ride much better than the Falken 512s, are quieter, and offer just as much grip. I think they run around $110/tire.

Pros: ride much better, quieter, good grip (Kumho)
Cons: loud, hard, wore out fast (Falken)

I have some decent Kumhos on mine (used to have Gislaved Nordfrost 5 on my MKIV, but they wore very quickly) and my Golf is perfectly fine in the snow.

Pros: perfectly fine in snow
Cons: wore very quickly

I'm on my second set of PZero Nero A/S on my MKIV in 7 years. They handled a few decent snows that we had in MD/DC when I lived up there just fine. I have no complaints about them.

Pros: no complaints, handled snows

My 2012 GLI came with Pirelli PZero Nero A/S tires on it. It handles incredibly well, not sure how much of that is GLI and how much is the tires, but definitely no complaints here.

Pros: handles incredibly well, no complaints

I have the same problems with my p zero neros also. Right at 70 mph that steering wheel jitters. It's not bad, but somewhat irritating. I have had the tires balanced and rotated twice, but the jitter remains. It does seem to be getting better with mileage however. I must say though, these are by far the best all season performance tires I have owned.

Pros: best all season performance
Cons: steering wheel jitters

From my experience, when the pirellis start to go, they suck quickly. Didn't realize how bad noise / vibration was @ 20k until I got new Hankook v12s.

Cons: bad noise, vibration
Mileage: 32186 km
