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 put some Yokohama A008's and new shocks on it and I was off. Like the 914 it had nearly 50-50 weight distribution, and relatively stable RWD handling.
There's a really interesting all-season Yokohama tire available (called the Advan S4) in 235/50R17 that is "AA" rated for traction, has a 400 treadwear ratiing, and is one of the least expensive tires in its category and size at $186. Its also rated #1 in the ultra high performance all season category. I'd go with this in a second.
our options in streetable tires that i know of are: 205 60 14 yokohama es 100
I ran Yokohama A008's back then, since it was only a sunny day/auto-X car.
My all-season tires however, and worn for the path. They are still drivable, but I will definitely be replacing tires before winter.
I have Yokohama AVSDBs they are pretty bad in the snow But fun in empty parking lots
