Tires: Continental ExtremeContact Sport (stock size)
Tires: Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 225/45/R18. Basically rebranded Bridgestone Potenza RE003 for North America.
I sure wish Continental ExtremeContact DWS were available. I've had them on a few ICE BMWs and they're awesome tires and work great with BMW suspension.
The best performance tires I ever had were the Continental Pure Contact, V rated. Superb handling, road feel, good ride quality. These were on my 2013 Tiguan.
Continental Extreme Contact Sport ????
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.
Didn't want to spend the money for them this year so I got indy500s and love em. Great bang for the buck. Pretty sticky. Quiet. Cheap.
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 rotate tires every 5k to keep even wear and am no longer a fan of Toyos ... Anyway, I'm hard on my car (ie: drive it like you stole it) and even with a track day under my belt, I'm doing better than 8-10k miles on my set of Contis although don't get more than 2 seasons out of summers (approx. 15k miles).
I've had 2 failures with Continental tires.. One was the DWS and the other was a ContiSport?.. both were sidewall failures. The ContiSport tire broke its band, and the tire became distorted, while the DWS tires softer sidewall was cut open when my wife hit a pothole.
