from Bought used tires in Year / Model Reviewed: 1998 Volkswagen GTI VR6 Summary: I have these tires on the back of my GTI. The car has a limited slip (posi-trac, torsen, whatever you want to call it) differential, H&R cup kit, and Bilstein sport shocks installed. The car handles ridiculously amazing and these tires have held up to exit speeds out of corners over 70mph without losing grip.
I am able to get the car to oversteer with them if i go into a turn at a certain angle, but its easy to avoid and easy to compensate for. I believe they do grip very well for what they are and im supprised by the preformance of the so called "crap tires". Im sure they aren't a match for the potenza's on the front, but i have kept them on the back. Im might put them up front just to experiment. Final verdict, these are decent tires, good grip at (at least for not the drive wheels), and good value overall. Strengths: -Grip pretty decent
-Come in hard to get sizes (195/45/r15)
-Cheap price Weaknesses: -Slide when pushed really hard
-Tread pattern looks cheap Similar Products Used: Worse than the Futuras:
Goodyear Eagle GT (Garbage! Not recomended!)
Goodyear Eagle LSA (Even worse than the GT's!)
Better than the Futuras:
Bridgestone Potenza RE910 (One of the best tires i've ever driven on)
BF Goodrich T/A Traction (Also an amazing tire, comparable to Potenza's)
Toyo Proxxes 4 (Very very good tires, especially for the money!)
