What are some of the best tire setups you have tried and also best mileage increaser. I know the biggest difference comes from driving habits. I am just curios to see what mods helped most too.

The received wisdom in the air-cooled VW world is to downsize the fronts. Keep the 165-15 in back for traction, and go to 135- or 145-15 in front. And put the nose on the ground.
Something closer to your front-wheel drive platform is the Rabbit pickups I've seen at the drag races. They run short, wide tires in front and tall, narrow tires in back. Maybe 14s and 16s?
Agree with CapriRacer at Permalink #7. Settle on the tire and then pick the wheel;
and it's width (affects sidewall stiffness and turn-in).
