Tires YOKOHAMA or Nokia

Can't go wrong with Nokians. On my '01 MK4 GTI, I used a set of Hakka 1s for 5 or 6 years; great tires. The Michelin Xice Xi2 are great too.

I gave up on 512's, they stretched awesome but i found that s drives stretch almost as good and they come in 195/45/17. Plus they are a nice v tread and not an all season tire. Grip great compared to 512's.

I paid $220 for 4 almost-brand-new Nokian WRG2 a month ago, installed. They were at about 90% remaining still. I'd rather get slightly-used good tires than brand-new pieces of sh*t. 100% happy with them so far.

The car handles exceptionally well with them. The West Virginia turn pike is easily handled at 95mph. Downfall- tires need to be rotated sooner then normal and they always run thin way before their due date.

I bought myself a set of Nokian Hakkapellita R's and it makes a world of difference on snow and ice.

i have 19x8's up front and 19x9.5's in the back, 215/35/19 yokohama s.drives all around. i've taken it up to about 135 mph so far and its super smooth.

I've had 512s, 912s, and currently S. Drives. I couldn't tell you which ones stretch better but performance wise, the Falkens don't come close to the Yoks. My car is a summer daily and the S. Drives are great in dry and wet conditions. Good luck.

S-Drives are by far the stickier tire. Much much stickier than the bull**** Falken. I still would not have a problem running a Falken for the pure look of it. Never would I get it for any performance oriented reason.

im running s drives on my 17x8 momos, 205 40. the stretch is minimal but these tires stick very well for the street.

Hakkapeliittas are super wobbly, I can't recommend those to people anyways.
