Hey everybody,

Hydroplaneing down the freeway isn't a whole lot of fun, so it's time to throw some new tires on the 90 20v quattro; stock size is 195/60 r14 but I was wondering about putting some 195/65 r14 in there to fill up the wheel well a bit. I need a good all-season/performance tire, at a decent price.

On the low end, I'm looking at some wal-mart cheapies for $306 including maintenance/repair. Opposite the spectrum, I'm looking at some Zexus 427xi's for $460 w/ warrenty & maintenance from Les Schwab.

I'm looking for an 89H or better rubber compound.
Thanks for any help in advance!

I just put a set of Pirelli P4 4 seasons on my B4, and so far I love em. 195/65/15, and I think right in the middle of your price range. I ordered them off Tire Rack and I think they were ranked second for all season tires. Loads of grip, really low road noise, and what looks like a tread design that should be great in the snow (but I haven't got to test that yet). I can tell you they are great in the rain and should solve your hydroplaning issue easy.

Both tires you mentioned are made in China, quality control I would not trust even if they are dirt cheap.
