First set of tires for me were Hankook Ventus Evo2s, now I'm on Potenzas in the back. I like the Potenzas more.

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup+/N-Spec
:driving:

This one got our stock sizes.?Anyway i love my PSS,this tyres are also lighter than stock.

the N spec tires are mucho more$, my Porsche requires N spec tires but all the P guys are going to the MPSS, I did, tire is better, less $ , rides smoother and more longevity.

PSS are the best but expensive. Based on this article I chose #2, Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position. Great price. Wonderful grip and very quiet. If PSS are too much go S-04. Lots of people on here recommend RE-11. Those are awesome too but pricey.

I drove my GTi from Alabama to D.C. to see family. About halfway though Virginia we got some rain and I realized I needed tires ASAP. We made it to PA and I decided to get the S04. I started to strongly dislike the GTi before the S04 b/c I felt like it just didn't have the mojo that it used to and that I'd grown accustomed to with a hot hatch. That tire made me fall in love with the car again, I kept it another year. It gave me everything I wanted from a tire and none of the stuff I hated about tires. Great ride. Great price. Great dry traction and wet traction. I probably drive more mildly on the street than some of you guys, but I feel like i'd run out of road and skill before I ran out of tire on the street with the S-04.

I need to get tires soon too. Why change sizes and not stay stock? Is it for looks? Performance? I'm thinking the s04's so should I stay with stock or change sizes?

I'm running S-04s on the rear now and have no complaints. The tire is probably more capable than I am as a driver and will definitely last longer than RE-11s for much cheaper.

I see a lot of people in California chiming in. I have one question. I only went the all season route because it was getting cold and since I live in the desert it did get to about 20 or so degrees. Do you run summer tires all year or what?

I had S-04 PPs on my Mazdaspeed6. Actually made that piggy wrong-wheel-drive car hug corners.
