Tires Continental or Cooper
Just replaced my front toyos at 36k miles that had about 1mm of tread above the indicator (replaced with contis)
Did Michelin second and got 35,000 then did continental dws last fall.
I ran some Continental ExtremeContact Force for a year on my GRC. The only thing that killed them is when it got too cold here in FL "15 degrees in the winter" and the bands popped. Still had good tread and did 25k miles on them, 5 tracks days, tons of mountain roads while on road trips, and were pretty good on the road till the end.
Continental ECS2 are good on the street, comfortable and quiet, and more resistant to shoulder-chunking than Michelin PS4S on track.
I went with the Continental DSW06's on my WRX. Think I got them at Discount Tires for like $840. Absolutely fantastic tires and I might be putting them on my prelude next.
I got Continental UltimateContacts from Can Tire, in 195/65/r15. The ride isn't really any better cause of the added weight but traction wise that have been amazing
Got an old Golf 4 which I inherited from my grandparents and I only use it like 1/2 times a week.
It got Continental winter tires on it from 2011. Thread is like new and no cracks. Drove thru snow with it, heavy rain and heat. Tires are not showing any signs of being bad. It's like driving on rails with it, very impressive performance from Continental.
Conti DWS 06 for blasting around town
Continental tires.
The rather good-looking (data-wise) Conti Raceking is an awful tire. The carcass is poor and starts bouncing at higher speeds or higher power, resulting in power and speed loss.
