The conti pro contacts were factory on my wife's car and we've replaced them a couple times now. We've gotten 50,000 miles per set. You could run them longer, maybe another 10,000, but they start feeling a little splashy on the road before 50k.
Pros: 50000 miles per set
Cons: splashy on the road
Mileage: 80467 km
Huge fan of the Continental DWS 06 Plus, had the prior non plus version for about 5 years on my supercharged MINI Cooper, and they were fantastic. The plus version is even better!
Pros: fantastic, even better
Vehicle:
MINI
Conti extreme contact DWS are the ???? all season.
Pros: great all season
Vehicle:
Audi S4
I have General G-Max AS05's on my BMW. They are an all-season performance tire. I like them. Less expensive than most.
Pros: less expensive, I like them
Vehicle:
BMW
The Contienental tire, conti pro contact, has performed well in everything I've thrown at it. Not a great replacement for winter tires, but has handled all of my driving.
Pros: handled all driving
Cons: not winter tire replacement
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
I got continental run flats on my Buick. 4 years old. I had a small hole patched up like 2 or 3 years ago, thats about it, they been holding up very well ever since.
Pros: holding up very well
I just went through this debate with myself and went for the conti DWS 06 plus tires. They are still brand new, but I'm happy with the choice. What swayed me to get these over the AS4s was more than one review mentioned that the AS4s had a "distinct road noise" that was ever so slightly noticeable when driving.
Pros: happy with choice
The best middle ground would be your UHP All Seasons category. Not as performance oriented as summer. But also not as costly. Michelin Pilot Sport 4 A/S, Conti DWS06+ for example.
Pros: All season
Cons: Not summer performance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I got the cheapest snow tires possible for my first set, Uniroyal TigerPaw on Steelies. They suck on dry pavement. I had to floor it on a turn from a standstill as I realized someone was doing 80+ through the light I was taking a left at. Ive never had all four tires spin on dry pavement in any subaru Ive owned.
Pros: cheapest snow tires possible
Cons: suck on dry pavement
Vehicle:
Subaru
