Tires Continental or GENERAL TIRE
I quite like the continental doublefighter.
I've had both the DWS06 and now the AS4, I found the DWS06 a little quieter, felt like same performance in the dry, the AS4 is better in the rain (on my highways the DWS06 would hydroplane at 50mph) but slightly worse in the snow
got 78,000 on oem Continentals. Tire vendor thought I could still push for another 10,000 miles… In South Florida on mostly smooth roads.
I run Conti ECS, they are a performance street tire. It's what BMW M cars come with.
I’m a Continental Michelin tire guy. I have the extreme contacts on my ZL1 camaro and they handle great for the buck.
These tires are way quieter, stiffer on turns and gives me slightly better range (was at 340kwh now at 300kwh)
Altimax is a great tire. Have it on the kids car and performs great during the summer and in the winter in snow and ice.
Wear and tear on the track is tires and brake pads. My OEM Conti tires lasted 3 track days and 4650 miles, instead of the 10k miles they are rated for. Learn how to inspect your pads visually so you can see how much material is left.
I have been a fan of the Conti Pro Contacts before, as well as Pilot Sport A/S 3+. A decent budget tire is the General Gmax, however in my experience they get pretty loud as they wear.
I hate my current set of DWS06, just got new set last week and car has been shaking like a one hour hotel room bed. 1 tire was showing a 40 on road force and could not be balanced. New one came in next day and car still vibrating 70 and above.
