So far I have driven a few kilometers, about 5000 km, the size is 224/45/17", but I am very satisfied with these tires. I had tried the Pilot Sport 4 on a 16" rim, 205/55/16", and the result was magnificent, in dry and wet conditions, always great grip, even wear, and they perform well on the track, without pushing too hard. The Pilot Sport 4S is a clear improvement, especially on the track, with more grip, faster, and they still perform just as well in water. If I don't switch to a semi-slick, I will definitely put this tire back on without hesitation.
I would have liked to try the Yokohama Advan V 107, but for now, it is not available in 17"

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Volkswagen Golf 6 GT drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Absolute fantastic dry and wet grip, no hydrolock issues with 2mm tread, shoulders to soft. Grip is higher than a sporty tyre like Conti PC6, Michelin PS4 etc
Tread depth new at 6,4mm, tyre works from 12° - 50°C , 54° -122° F
Tread depth new at 6,4mm, tyre works from 12° - 50°C , 54° -122° F
PROs: dry grip, wet grip, low rolling resistance, good road feedback for eco tyres, value
CONs: very noisy after 5000km, average treadwear, average braking performance both dry and wet, harsh ride
Before i change to ziex 914 ecorun, ive already use kumho PS31, Michelin PS3, bridgestone turanza t001 and Yokohama C Drive 2. I can conclude that this tyre still perform above my expectations. Very recommended for those who are looking a very good value and quality tyre. Only downside is braking performance and comfort.

Quiet tire, handles well. Feels good in the rain. Little spongy in the corners. The biggest problem with these tires is they don't last too much, but they are wonderful for the price.
Excellent grip of the tires. I expected more comfortable, and safe. I would recommend, quality tires
Best all season tyres I have tried (tried goodyear and bridgestone), comfortable and quiet.
Superb tyres. Excellent steering feedback. Very confortable and quite. Smooth creamy ride. Negociate corners with aplomb.. must lesser wobbling compared to Hancook V12. High speed stability..very very satisfying braking feel..and it brakes
