Tires Continental or BRIDGESTONE
Contis all the way.
PS4S FTW. But if it HAS to be between these, then the Contis
If you have a Discount Tire near you they made a special Discount Tire only collab with continental called the Control Contact Sport SRS+, they’re basically the same thing but ~$10 cheaper on average and better overall, that’s what I’m getting in just a month or so here. It’s hard to directly compare them but people have said the SRS+ are even sportier with a firmer sidewall and better steering response. At the end of the day they’re very similar but the edge goes to SRS in performance and price.
My Michelin pilot sport all seasons have treated me well… My a4 came with the older version of those continentals, as soon as I switched them it felt like the steering was much sharper and road noise was much less. Rain performance is also nuts. I’d skip the Pirellis but i’ve only driven the summer tire which had the same issues (noise & numb steering)
My recommendation is the Cont's
Same price, DWS06+ NO QUESTION. it’s the better tire. I’ve owned both. It’s much more expensive than the AS plus 3 where I live.
Contis all day . I love those dws.
The Conti’s for sure. I’ve had great luck with these tires.
The Bridgestone RE71RS is a 200tw performance tire. They will wear quickly - meaning you might get 10k miles out of them (give or take).
I'm not a fan of the OEM Turanza tires either. I find them really noisy.
