Tires Continental or Giti
Continental, performs like a Michelin for half the price.
I haven't had to change tires for my MX yet, but I have almost exclusively used Continental Extreme Contact DWS on all my other vehicles. Ever since I switched them up on my S2000 years ago. Used them on my 2 370zs, use them on my Nissan LEAF. I am a big fan of them.
Recently replaced factory Goodyear with 20” Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS for about $1200. 3500 miles and they are great with minimal wear. Quiet with great wet and dry handling. 2021 MYLR.
I have the DWS 06 on my RS and I LOVE how they feel and drive.

I had ExtremeContacts on my golf and loved them except they didn’t last as long as I expected. Then I got Pilot Sport 4s since they were on sale at the same price as the contis. they’re a bit louder but a bit grippier.
I had a friend with Blizzacks on his WRX, and I put the equivalent Continental WinterContacts on my WRX. Mine wore less over time and I commuted more, were slightly cheaper at the time, and felt like they performed a little better.
Big fan of the Continent Winter Contacts for my Passat in 215 width. They were quite a bit less than Michelin's at the time. I'll buy them again.
I got a set of 18 inch Continental TrueContact Tours because I'm a sucker for MPG. The ride, noise, and road handling are all pretty good, but my MPG actually fell from the 17 inch Michelin winter tires to these.
I've had a bad experience with Continentals. Difficult to balance, not a great ride, hard in cold temperatures.
