Hi Guys,
My GTD came with Bridgestones, which I don't rate. Poor grip & very noisy.
Since my remap to 220 bhp & 500nm of torque I don't feel they are up to the job.
What tyres suit a performance Golf the best? I have always rated P Zero's and told the Conti's are good.
Many Thanks,
Rappy
I can't recommend Michelin Pilot Super Sports highly enough. Granted, it's a summer performance tire, but it does well in wet weather (which should suit your climate well). Great feel, comfortable ride, sensational traction/grip, wears well, not noisy. They are expensive though: $185 USD/tire. I had them on my '13 Mustang GT (420 HP/390 TQ, plus a tune), and they transformed the car. I've used Continental Extreme Contact DW's before on another vehicle (not to be confused with Conti's DWS)--much softer compound, and they wear quickly, but considerably less expensive than the MPSS, and a decent performance tire as well.
My GTI came with stock Bridgestone all-season tires (a ridiculous choice for a car sold in the Las Vegas desert), which routinely triggered the traction control light under boost after installing the Neuspeed Power Module. The MPSS's cured the problem. They also cured wheel spin, fishtailing, and wheel hop problems with my Mustang. Lest you think I'm a Michelin fanboy, the absolute worst tire I've used was the Michelin MXV4 Energy (OEM on my wife's Accord). Good luck with your choice in any event.
