I picked up a screw in my rear tire the other day, and it just so happened to hit right on the sidewall side of the crown and after looking at the rest of the tires, its time to replace them all.
Currently I have Pirelli P Zero Nero AS on them. These were the tires that came on the car when I bought it last year. Not too hip on the performance or wear of these tho. But maybe could have been b/c they were used, dry-ish looking and already pretty well worn.
I put between 11k - 13k miles per year on my vehicles so I'm looking for something pretty affordable that performs as well as it wears. So far i'm looking at the following tire options:
BFGoodrich g-Force comp 2 a/s - 126.90 on tirerack https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=g-Force+COMP-2+A%2FS&partnum=24WR8GFC2ASXL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Volkswagen&autoYear=2013&autoModel=GTI&autoModClar=4-Door
Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus - 138.22 on tire rack https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Pirelli&tireModel=P+Zero+All+Season+Plus&partnum=24YR8P0ASPXL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Volkswagen&autoYear=2013&autoModel=GTI&autoModClar=4-Door
Continental EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 - 141.75 on tirerack https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Continental&tireModel=ExtremeContact+DWS+06&partnum=24YR8DWS06XL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Volkswagen&autoYear=2013&autoModel=GTI&autoModClar=4-Door
Pirelli P ZERO NERO ALL SEASON https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Pirelli&tireModel=P+Zero+Nero+All+Season&partnum=24HR80NASXL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Volkswagen&autoYear=2013&autoModel=GTI&autoModClar=4-Door
Both pirelli's come with a $70 mail in rebate but the Nero has a lower utqg rating then the Plus (400 vs 500). However the plus is the only no z rated tire i'm looking at.
The continentals have no rebate but appear to have the longest life, 560.
The bfgoodrich tires have a $60 mail in rebate, making them the cheapest out of the 4 i'm looking at, but have the same wear rating as the Neros, 400.
Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, recommendations? I'd like to get them ordered today so I can have them in as quick as possible, or be able to check shops around me to see if they have them or can match prices.
**one thing to note as well, I am running a Stratified Stage 1 tune, no suspension modifications and the current tires just spin through when I'm not it. probably due to the wear on them.
Thanks!
