Tires YOKOHAMA or GT Radial

I ran s.drives on my mk5 for a little while (ended up getting rid of them because some jackass at the tire place used the wrong wheels weights and the tires cupped badly) I was pretty happy with them, stuck well, not too loud (but had some noise for sure), and decently priced.

I bought some Yokohama YK520s. As for performance they drive well and don't seem to squeal as much when they spin. The handling is very good and the ride is about the same as the Michelins. They road noise is also similar. They handle wet real well

I have Sdrives on my car, and love them. They suck in the snow, but are great in the wet and dry.

For my A3, I went with Yokohama W.Drive's and they've been great so far...just a tad expensive! $375/tire at the local dealer...but since I needed them quick and no one else had any tires for my titanium option 18" wheels and most were sold out for the season, I said f*ck it and bought them. They should last me for a few winters...

ran my bs rs960's at 37 lasted 37k . . . wierd excellent performance through the thread life and probably could have gone 40k, but the thread life was below 5/32. Just got Yoko S.Drives this weekend, set them at 37 as well.

I actully live in the New England area and I was using a set of Yokohama Iceguards and they performed fantastic, lasted 3 whole winters. Great tires.

I still have my summer wheels and tires left from when I traded my B5 A4 in on my GTI. I bought these wheels new from a dealership a couple of years back, and they have two summers on them, as do the tires. The wheels are in perfect shape, with no curbage, scratches, or defects of any kind at all.

Yes Street - 245/40/17 Yoko S-Drive (`3mm clearance on inside to clips on suspension, no rubbing at all) Track - 235/40/17 Toyo RA1 (best size I could get RA1s a the time)

I have Yokohama AVSDBs they are pretty bad in the snow But fun in empty parking lots
