I have those tires, what did you upgrade to? Can you tell a big difference? I personally don't think they are that bad. I wish I was closer or I'd buy them. I have 15k on mine still look new, and zero issues.

I upgraded to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3+ Some differences in my honest opinion with 200 miles on the tires:
- Much more stickier in all conditions. It takes off from a stop so much smoother and with less effort
- Less body roll
- My turn ins became much more direct and I have so much more confidence sending it into a corner than I would with the Potenzas.
-Slight decrease in MPG. Maybe 1-2 MPG loss at max

Nonetheless. the OEM tires are not terrible, at all

I've read a lot about your new tires, evidently the ones to have. Good for you, what kind of life do you expect out of them?

Hoping to see at least 25-30k.
Forgot to mention that virtually all spinning in first gear is gone. Even on a stock GTI I was spinning the most of first gear and some of second. Ride comfort has increased as well

Nice, that's what I wanted to hear, its hard to control wheel spin in 1st gear with the potenza's. Forget about using Launch Control with them. Thanks for your feedback

I'd buy em for "winters" but that's a bit far for a road trip. GLWS!
