Tires Continental or Firestone
My '13 VR6 Sport w/navi and the 18" wheels (OEM Continentals, not Goodyears) has been great through its first 9K miles. The ride is fine, tires are quiet enough and seem to be wearing OK
GREAT in the snow and they are quiet, comfortable and handle well in all other conditions.
And yet another vote for the Conti DW. I run them on the FR-S and I'm very happy with them.
Can I sugest the Continental Extreme Contact DWS? I have them on my GTO and they are suprisingly awesome, and they wear very well, especially when you consider the weight of my car (3,700lbs). Almost an all season tire with Ultra-high performance grip.
I have Conti DW in 225/40-18s and love them. Tirerack has them for $144/ea right now. 340 AA A I've also owned Mich PS, PS2, Conti DWS, and P Zeros in this size.
I have the Continental Extreme Contact DW tires and have no complaints. Good price. Good grip. Comfortable.
For all season , Continental Extreme Contact DWS are great, kinda weak sidewalks though.
Check out Firestone Winterforce tires. Don't know where you're from but Tirerack lists them for $69 in 185/65/R15.
While not top of the line, these will get you through a lot of bad snow. The tread is deep enough and has a ton of small blocks to chew through snow and enough siping to get over ice.
Now, I have had two sets of these, in addition to quite a few of my friends running these tires, nary a problem.
my conti-extreme got quite loud after they had worn a bit, although they were badly cupped.
