Currently have Michelin Pilot Super Sport 235/40 on my 2016 Golf. They're nearing end-of-life at around 27k miles, though I thought they'd make it longer. They've been great, wet or dry.
I was hoping to replace them this time with something a bit less costly. Any suggestions for a mid-range alternative? Research so far keeps pointing to the really good stuff like the PS4S (seem to currently be $200/tire), or Continental such and such (~$180/tire) or the budget options from say, Falken or Kumho. Or maybe those last two ARE in the mid-range.
Remember, Golf! I’m not tracking this thing. It breezes around the Bay Area (so I assume there's no real need for all season) and is a commuter a few days a week. I do like nice things, and those MPSS were nice. When they replaced the stock wheels, along with springs, I could immediately tell the difference in general handling, turning, rain, safety, etc. But do I need over $800 in tires on a Golf.
