The single biggest improvement anyone can make to their cars is tires. Get some sticky rubber and you'll far improve your car's performance more than an intake.

I'm in Miami. Previously owned a VW R32.

Hey Mike, where in Miami are you? I plan on driving the car plenty as it's going to be my daily driver. I definitely want some good wheels/tires for the grip, and I'm aware that it really increases the driving performance of the car. Motor Trend actually did a really nice video review where they drove the car with stock setup, then with some performance tires and wheels and shaved off 1.8 seconds from their track time.
