I've always ran BF Goodrich advantage controls, Michelin CrossClimates, Goodyear Eagle RS-A, or Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 for summers only.
Given I get a pretty big discount since I work for a tire shop, it's the experience I've had that makes my opinion. Haven't let me down unless I've done some stupid shit, like burnouts or drifts, and even then I only do when I've got the next set lined up.
Continental is frequently "second place" to Michelin in many categories (follow up on Tire Rack, and look their comparison guides), but they also cost like 80% of Michelin's price almost every time. They are never more expensive in the same category. Really good tires.
BF Goodrich’s Adv Controls are solid
Personally, I’d spend the extra money and get Continental tires because they make good shit. I run them on both cars, specifically the DWS06+. If it can handle my 500+ hp car, it can handle whatever you’re putting them on.
For anyone finding this thread I've gotten some decent miles on the Kryptotal now on a variety of trails and am loving it. I'm riding Kryptotal FR Enduro Soft front and Xynotal Enduro Soft rear and can't believe the difference from the T9 Butcher that I still had on the front. Faster, grippier, and I have way more confidence they're going to stick.
You’ll notice a difference. On a gentle downhill with me running the previous GP4000, I’ve coasted past my boss who was on Gatorskins and pedaling. The 5000 has perceptibly better rolling resistance than the 4000.
I'm running Continental PureContact LS 195/55R-16. Massive improvement in wet and dry grip over the stock Hankook.
Continental Viking Contact 7 on VW wheels. They are great snow tires, quiet on dry roads but very effective on ice and snow.
I had K02s on my 1st gen Tundra and they were Ok. I got them the last two times because they were a fair price and decent tire... I thought the KO2s were fine but a couple of mechanics said they would put them on such a light truck. They did ride stiffer and you felt every bump a lil more.
Continentals always have a soft sidewall and seem to bubble
