Tires Continental or BFGoodrich
My wife purchased a used Acura Integra. When I drove it just didn't handle as precise as I expected. We replaced them with.... Continental. All of a sudden the handling was much better and safer.
You could save some money and have better handling by choosing something that's not run flat. I use Continental Extreme Contact tires (\~$947 installed with no alignment at Les Schwab, and yes I could have gotten them cheaper elsewhere but LS gives out credit like it's free candy) and I love them so far...
Conti's DH tires are just the best. Its almost concerning how much grip I have compared to similar maxxis tires.
The current DH Conti line is the best tire out there right now. But holy crap, is it hard to get on rims.
As a Maxxis rider who hasn't tried Michy but has tried Conti... Conti are the best tires I've ever run so far. And I liked the Maxxis overall. It's hard to imagine a tire better than these Contis.
My car had tires from 2015, so I swapped all the tires for a set of new Conti ECS. 02s which has been great.
I have the ProContact RXs on my MS LR. They were excellent in dry, wet and snow . I've read htat they get worse in really cold weather, but they were fine up to around -5-10 degrees celsius and 10-15cm snow atop Donner Pass in Tahoe. Did not need chains.
I run the DSW06 Plus year around even on my race car. They're much better than the ProContact but they will not last as long. They also are a bit louder but pretty dang grippy even in severe weather.
My Continental Pure Contact all seasons are not awesome in snow. My Gislaved Nordfrost tires are.
They're notoriously bad tires. Slow and slippery, and the puncture protection isn’t even that great, so they’re mostly overpriced.
