Hello Illuminati, Quick tyre recommendations please for daily driver Golf GTI (mk5). I have Michelin PS2's on the 996 & they're great but not great longevity. I've been quoted PS4's = $209. Michelin Primacy 4 = $219. Yokohama ES32 = $157 Pirelli Dragon Sport $ 169 (+ $100 cashback). Thoughts/ other ideas ????

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have Conti Sport Contact 5's on my mk 6.5 GTI .... cant really fault them. Very good wear, and good performance.... well good enough for a daily..... Im not looking for 1/1000th of a second on the work commute. They are about $230 a throw last time I needed them
Michelin Primacy for longevity

I did put Primacy's on my family car (Skoda Wagon) & they've been very good.
pS4 are a nice quiet, reasonably grippy and comfortable tyre for a daily.
I put Primacy3's on the missus' e39 wagon a few years back and they've been great. I also had PS4's (not PS4S) on my A4 Quattro and they were amazing. I even seemed to be getting surprisingly good mileage out of them when it got hailed into touch. I was always dubious about Michelins because they were often much more expensive than anything else and I thought it was all in the name, but I am totally converted. When the PZeros are gone on the 996 I'll hope to be able to find a suitable PS4 or similar. For a daily and if you're not terribly fussed about the last bit of grip I'd suggest Primacy's TBH, grip is still impressive on the modestly powered auto 530iT and they're also damn good in the wet. I'm getting punched hard in the arm before they break loose. If you want a bit more sporty go PS4, they still wear quite well. Powerful FWD is hard on tyres though, suspension needs to be tip-top, find a really good alignment place and if same sizes swap front to rear every 5-10k.
