Tires Continental or GENERAL TIRE
For me I personally went with Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+, it's been great so far in the summer and wet conditions. Drove through a bunch of pot holes not long ago at a hiking trailhead, but at the end of the day wrx are gonna be stiff anyways. But the tires are still holding strong so far!
For a 2020 Fit in Chicago, the Continental TrueContact Tour is the single best choice great comfort, really solid rain/slush grip, and perfect for small hatchbacks; I’ve run them on a similar car and they felt planted without being harsh.
205/50ZR16 Continental Extremecontact DWS
I love the look of a bit wider tire and the Conti’s are awesome in wet conditions.
We replaced the OEM Firestones with a set of General AltiMAX RT45 all-seasons and they have been fantastic so far on our 2019. Quieter than the Firestones and excellent in both dry and wet.
General Altimax 365AW are the best bang for the buck in my opinion. Great snow performance (WI checking in here).
I run the same General tires. Before that, it was the RT43. Yes, the are not performance tires. What I have experienced is they get better mileage, and last a long time.
I got the Altimaxes on my older Escape, and have been very happy with them. Quieter and better handling than the Coopers they replaced.
Continental contact urban are excellent tires! They come in many sizes, they feel nice and supple for a touring tire, very fast, lots of grip and good puncture protection.
I have a set of wheels with Continental DWS 06+ on them. They do reasonably well even in snow.
Conti’s are the most fragile tire. Sidewall bubble will show up for potholes you don’t even recall hitting.
