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.
Currently running Bridgestone RE760 Sports. Classified as "Ultra High Performance" I have found them to be a great summer tire on a DD.
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.
Absolute best grip in that size will be the Bridgestone Potenza RE71-R. That would be the 'autocross special' tire. It's a 200 treadwear rated tire, so it's legal in the SCCA Street classes, but it's very soft and extremely grippy.
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.
Been using 225/45R-17 Bridgestone Blizzak WS80's...they have been great last 2 winters.
I have had the DWS 06 on my R for almost a year. Drove through Reno’s ridiculous amount of snow last year. They’re a good tire in fluffy snow and got me around no problem. When it gets more hard packed they struggle, but they’re an all season tire and I didn’t expect much there.
Mine came with Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS, and I hate them.
