fossten January 9th, 2006, 07:10 PM Guys,
I've searched all over this forum and have found very few references to good tire recommendations for the MK8. I've got a 93 and I'm going to get new ones this week. I really don't want to spend more than $500 total.
Any suggestions? I really want handling and quiet more than wear.
98LSC32V January 9th, 2006, 07:15 PM Sumitimo HTR II's... cheap and max performance for the money... decent thread life as well.
AquaLS01 January 11th, 2006, 07:32 PM Falken Z-512. Less than $400 for the set at Discount Tire. Handle great wet and dry.
meangy9 January 11th, 2006, 10:21 PM I have the Falken Z 512 also. $70 each and no complaints with performance.

Depend if you need right side or left.... I can only help with the left side you should talk to Bryan about the right LOL...
Yokohama's are very good.. the run about $75 or so from Tire Rack. Oh and these are the ones that Bryan uses....

turborich January 18th, 2006, 04:27 PM :) I too needed tires, I just bought the yokohama YK 420's today. I like them a lot. Got them at discount tire. Just under $500 including lifetime mounting, balance and lifetime road hazzard as well.
