I'd go with the 'never-heard-of-them-so-must-be-sh!t' mantra.

I've run Dunlop SP Sport 9000 - which were sh!t - and Avon ZZ3, which were excellent before they went under 3mm left of tread.

^^^^^ Vredestein compete with the big boys on performance, but are relatively cheap. Linkies:-

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

If you are on a REALLY tight budget then you could consider buying some part-worn tyres off ebay, but a premium brand.

There are bargains to be had, although I will admit that you take a slight risk as you don't know exactly where the tyres have come from and some have had puncture repairs.

I had Nexens N6000's fitted on my Jetta on 17 inch wheels. I replaced them after 6000 miles with about 8mm of tread still left to go. Cold and wet weather and you may as well have slicks on. No grip - scary at times! In a word - dont bother!

Another 'budget' tyre well worth looking at is the Falken FK452's.  Had them over a year now and cant fault them, still got 5mm on the front and 7 on the back too.

Mk4 owners seem to slate them but they seem to work with the mk5 chassis very well.  Much much better than the Dunlop Sportmax's they replaced...
