Top of the bracket is the Pilot Sport 4S from Michelin or the Extreme Contact Sport from Continental which are the best performance without getting into track tires plus they have treadwear warrenty, but that comes at a much steeper cost.
I still say switching to Michelin Pilot Sport 3 All seasons was the best choice I made; a bit lower efficiency but they are actually a decent width so you have some protection from curb rash. They also have significantly better rating on all performance metrics and are cheaper then the Primacy.
I’m using the non EV ones as Michelin replacements and they’re great. Just a slight range hit and a bit noisier than OEM.
I have had great success with the Continental PureContact LS sized 245/45/18. Cheaper than the OEM Michelin and overall better.
Continental extreme contact dws6 is the way.
I second the Conti Extremecontacts. I’ve tested many different tires while working as a mechanic, and conti’s have been holding up across different driver types better than anything else in its price range.
The Michelin PS4 DT1 tires are very good for road-use, plenty of grip, handle wet roads without any fuss, and I think they'll last me 20.000km or so, even with some light trackday use.
New tires: Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H. Fit great, bead was easy to seat, sealed up right away with sealant and rode well on a shakedown ride. Hit a few spots of mud Freon recent flooding and they didn’t grip well (they’re not expected to) but they shed the mud immediately once I hit hard pack. Biggest deal is no wobbles at all!
Oh, and I guess I did have a set of some Continental Wintercontact of some flavor last winter, and they were fine. Nothing really good to say, nothing bad either.
rather snot-slick. They slip in conditions my baby shoes never did. Overall, they are nice and quiet, but their traction is nowhere near as good as it seems it should be.
