I need a set of tires in the near future for the 02 TDI wagon. I know that everyone will have an opinion, but I would at least like to narrow down my search to some tires to consider and some to avoid. I am in TN so I don't really care about winter driving and such because I will just park the car if the weather is bad.
It has a 17/22, 11mm pump, injectors, etc. so it is making decent power. Haven't dynoed the car yet, but based on what similar setups have done it should make around 180hp and 300ft/lb at the wheels. I also drive 30-35 miles each way every day to work.
I am looking for something that will hook decently with my power, but will also return a long tread life, great full-life performance, minimal road noise and decent fuel economy without breaking the bank.
I was considering a LRR tire such as the Ecopia or Energy Saver - how well do these put down power to the ground?
