Looking at Pilot Sports A/S 3+ tires. Im running the stock rims on my mk7 and was wondering if 225/45ZR17 94Y XL's would fit? Are these a good option? and no i cant run a summer/winter tire set up as I know thats the better option.

Are you asking if a 17" tire will fit on an 18" wheel? Ima let you think on that for a minute.
Stock rims are 18?

On a 2016 autobahn? Yes, they came with Austins running 225/40/18 tires.

Look at the size of your existing tires on the sidewall, it's likely 225/40/18. Match that up with your new tire size, and you're guaranteed that they'll fit. EZPZ.
e: I'm dumb and forgot what stock size is, point stands though -- verify against what's on your car right now.

I hope they are 40 not 45.....
I didn't like the Pilot AS3's I had, spun the shit out of those so much the first several days, thinking I would finally have traction. I may or may not have ended their life early so that I could get a new set of something else.
This….spun them quite a bit. ASPS4s were so much better. Both have bad mileage….. didn’t last long

I've been pretty impressed with the DWS06+ on the daily so far, to the point where I'm considering them OR the Yoko Apex V601 for the next tire, depending on if I want to retain winter drivability *at all* or not.
Yea I have the DWS06 now myself, so much better.

My current DWS06 are about shot, and plan on going with the DWS06+ next time around just because it's the newest iteration. I've loved these and the previous DWS for my daily needs.
I do plan on going 235/40 for the reasons that Monkey mentions. We've got some wicked potholes around here and some extra sidewall protection and comfort is welcome. I'm not sure about a 245/40 on a 7.5" wheel though.
