One of key components to how well your car corners is the tires. The tire width and compound of the rubber play crucial roles in keeping your performance VW  from sliding off the road .different parts of the  country may have some effect on them as well.

Wider tires have more surface area in contact with the road which will improve traction. It also has the unfortunate side effect of decreasing the gas mileage on your vw due to increased friction with the road. It is not uncommon for vw to install wider tires and see their gas mileage go down by 50 miles per tank. If you have ever wondered why vw puts such skinny tires on their vehicles this is one of the main reasons. Wider tires also tend to turn into skis in winter driving conditions.

Installing stickier tires will help your vw considerably. One thing to keep in mind though is the softer and stickier the tire, the faster it will wear out. Vw high performance summer tires may also perform very poorly in wet and icy conditions, which means your vw probably will want another set of tires for winter driving.

If you get bigger wheels to go with your  vw tires you will probably end up with a tire that has a shorter sidewall, which makes the new tires nearly the same diameter as the old ones. These shorter sidewalls will improve handling slightly.

Does your vw feel like it is leaning over sideways when you tear around a turn. This is what is known as body roll. There are a couple main ways to combat this problem.Upgrading the sway bar parts and lowering spring parts.

 The thing that has the least effect on ride comfort is to install a set of vw sway bars or anti-roll bars. Depending on your car there may be aftermarket bars and parts for the front, rear, or both for your vehicle. The difference these parts are   the parts can be installed in few hours and shouldn't cost more than a few hundred dollars at most.

You should be aware though that putting vw lowering springs on your stock shocks will cause them to wear out faster, so it is recommended that you replace both parts at the same time to save money on labor in the future. Vw  lowering springs also have a different spring rate than the stock springs and will most likely result in a much stiffer ride than you're used to.
