Tires Continental or Goodyear
You really need to get the new Goodyear Electric Drive 2's. They're amazing in wet weather and they're whisper quiet with no noticeable loss in range.
I got Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady2 on now and should be OK in everything short of ice.
I’ve been running the Continentals for a number of years now and will not switch to anything else.
DWS every single time
I've had both on my m340i (currently on the pzeros). Contis lasted 15k miles and were down to 1 mm. Iirc the contis also felt a tad bit floatier. Awesome dry grip on both. DWS were great in snow, have yet to go through a winter with the pirellis. 0 complains for either when it comes to heavy rain.
Continental DWS06+ on my performance.
Conti’s on my Audi & Pirellis on my R32. Both really good, but the Conti’s over Pirellis. I thought the Pirellis grip, but they stay softer. Conti’s have great grip thru the driving experience.
I had the PureContact LS before these. The PureContacts were slightly quieter, and also slightly smoother on roads, and because I didn't take the Extremes to the extreme, I can't say if/how much better they are at handling, but on paper they should be.
I would have stuck with the PureContacts, but I had a very unfortunate puncture that was unserviceable, and they don't make them anymore.
pls dont get Conti CC line. its garbage wet grip.. Only good for comfort/noise. But that is not worth sacrificing safety.
I have 30k on my 22 hatch and while they still have tread depth the compound has deteriorated so badly that they understeer in the cold at low speed.
