Tires Continental or BFGoodrich
I sure wish Continental ExtremeContact DWS were available. I've had them on a few ICE BMWs and they're awesome tires and work great with BMW suspension.
The best performance tires I ever had were the Continental Pure Contact, V rated. Superb handling, road feel, good ride quality. These were on my 2013 Tiguan.
Continental Extreme Contact Sport ????
I run Contintental Extremecontact Sport XLs and so far nothing but good things to say about them. Smooth ride, used to spin tires ALOT with my all seasons and now I get nothing but grip, massive difference.
I think the Conti's are probably the best in the price range for wet/dry grip, as I live in an area with a lot of rain I would go with those myself.
I had the DWS on my last car and they were *fantastic*. Highly recommended.
I just got some DWS06's last week and so far they are fantastic. I had contiprocontacts on before.
The premium contact 6 is a very good summer tire. Not the sportiest out there but overall grip in normal summer conditions is around best in this class.
I run DWS06s on the 19 cadiz... have been for ~48k now. The rears are still almost to the wear bars, and the fronts were replaced just over ~3k ago. I live in Lorton/DC area... commute into the city. Yes, they're squishy for the first 2k... then they square up.
Every set of Contis and Michelins I have ever seen wear for absolute crap, lose all of their grip after a short amount of mileage, poorly riding, compromised in handling, and are LOUD to the point of distraction....Right up until they are a bare, poorly weathered carcass at less than 20k in mileage. They have never seen worth the price that they charge for them.
