Tires Continental or Firestone
I like the PureContact LS - it is a good mix of fairly quiet and good handling.
I’m on my second set of Continental Terrain Contact A/T tires on my 2014 Forester. Amazing in the snow, heavy rain, and the rocky dirt roads of Death Valley. Probably the best all around tire I’ve ever purchased.
I replaced the junk ProContact TX tires on my 21 SEL-P with ExtremeContact DWS 06+ a few weeks ago. Went to Mammoth this weekend, where it has been setting records for snowfall. The 4motion, along with these tires, performed fantastically well. Very pleased with them.
I've driven about 200 miles on my new Weatherpeaks on my stock Subaru Outback. I was shocked with how good the tires performed in the downpour. On very wet roads with massive puddles, the Weatherpeaks felt like my old tires did on completely dry roads. Grip was fantastic. No slipping at all. Even when I hit really large puddles at speed I didn't hydroplane. The tires do feel slightly "softer" in the turns when its dry than the stock tires but they still feel great...and are a much smoother and quieter ride overall. Even on dry roads I feel like the car has better control.
I daily drive my GTI in the city. Someone on here recommended Continental DWS06 tires as an economical but still good option and let me tell you, they are awesome. I’m loving every second I drive with them in.
My choice is Continental DWS 06 Plus. It truly is an ultra high performance All season tire, it does great in the snow, it's quiet and sticky, I used the non plus version before this and it was fantastic.
I left run flats and slapped on Continental ExtremeContact. They look great and ride amazing. Also I went wider and kept the thickness so it feels a lot more comfortable
Continental ExtremeContacts. Made a huge difference in traction, noise, and comfort. Even more of a point and shoot go kart now.
Used to use them but they’re downright dangerous in the wet and almost impossible to get on/off. Use Continental Grand Sport Race now which are almost as resistant but half the price and with a lot more grip. No punctures in 1,600 miles.
I'm not happy at all with the OEM Continental ProContact TX . I had a sidewall blowout (photo below) on I-40 in AZ with less than 1500 miles on the car.
