+1 on the Pirelli Elect. Went to 18s for my M3P and the tire is super comfortable, quiet, and naturally more efficient.
Pros: super comfortable, quiet

I'm rolling on Goodyear Assurance Comfortdrive. Pretty solid tire. Had Continental Purecontact LS before that. Both on 245/45/18 size Good efficiency and tire wear rating.
Pros: good efficiency, tire wear
I just got them on my Stealth last week for this week's skiing road trip! Honestly pretty impressed with them so far. Efficiency stayed pretty much the same from what I remember getting in my previous road trip with the OEM 18" wheels, high 300s while driving at around 85 mph in below freezing temps.
Their snow performance is pretty impressive, from what I can tell, drove down snowy mountains without issue, at reasonable speeds of course. Was also able to use slip start to get unstuck out of a parking spot on the first try.
Pros: pretty impressed, good snow performance
I have them and so far very happy with the purchase. I use them for every day driving there’s been no big impact on range or road noise.
Pros: happy with purchase
Cons: no big impact
Yes to range drop, also yes to great performance in the snow, ice, and rain. My typical drive takes 15% to get home now, where it used to take 12%. They are relatively new (2 months), so break in may alleviate some of that.
I've been over the pass in the Sierra Nevada twice with them on (both i-80 and hwy 50), plus routine winter driving with snow and ice pretty much daily. Only time I've felt any wiggle is goosing it through a corner when nobody is around, just to get a feel for the handling. It recovers very gracefully.
Pros: great performance in snow
Cons: range drop
I have some on mine and they’ve handled great on the rain, haven’t really done any snow driving. Only thing I’ve noticed is there’s a bit of a feint droning noise at high speeds. Haven’t really noticed any significant range impacts, although I’ve only used them for daily driving and don’t ever drop below 50% charge.
Pros: handled great on rain
Cons: droning noise
10x better than the continentals in snow.
Pros: better in snow
I got new tires for my mk7 Jetta gli yesterday at Discount Tires. Continental dws06plus, 225/45/18, or whatever stock size is. Great tires. Holy cow, these tires make the car drive that much better.
Pros: Great tires, drive better
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
2 sets of rubber on her for a total of 40,000km in 18 months.
Pros: fun driving experience
Cons: frequent tire replacement
Mileage: 40000 km
I learned anything from this forum, it’s that the Hankook factory tires are simply the worst. I’m just a regular city driver so I honestly can’t tell the difference.
Cons: worst factory tires
Mileage: 20000 km
