I’ll third the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02s. Every bit of what you’d expect from a flagship summer performance tire. Dry grip is phenomenal, with excellent wet weather performance. Steering feel has been very complementary to the quick rack on the Giulia. Noise level is very good, considering the overall package - much improved over the original ECS I had on my SS. I don’t think you can go wrong with either these or the PS4S.
I also put Continental ExtremeContact tires on. While they recommended summer performance tires, I went with all-seasons. A little more sidewalk flex but I still had to drive it when conditions got below freezing.
Agree - quality brands make a huge difference. Goodyears are my go to. Have had great experience with Maxlife and WeatherReady
i went from shitty $70 westlakes on my crown vic, to $230 a piece continental dws06+. felt like a completely different car and handles so much better.
I bought conti extreme contacts for my last set about 2 years ago,and i will only be buying conti extreme contacts from now on.
Upgrading from the stock tires to GP5000's will make much, much more of a difference than the wheelset upgrade.
I have the Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus tires on my SHO and absolutely love them. So far I have not had any issues with the lighter snows we have had here in northern Virginia.
You would be better off choosing Continentals ControlContact or Falkens Pro G5
I would take the RT45 over any Goodyear Assurance model, especially the Maxlife one which I hear people say has a LOT of road noise at highway speeds.
7,970 miles. I don't like Goodyear tires. The OEM tires were slippery and the truck stepped out going 25 mph around a corner that I never experienced with my other 2nd gen Tacoma without good year tires. Way to easy to spin off the line even with the torqueless wonder that is the 3rd gen.
