Tires Continental or Kumho
I popped one at 32k miles so I swapped for Conti CrossContacts, they’ve been great in snow, rain, and light mud.
My used CX-30 came with Kumho Crugen HP71 that are really great for road noise and all weather. The single snow storm we had so far it handled very well!
Go for the Continentals. I’ve done the research for you, and lived it. These tires will take anything perfectly unless you decide to hit your breaks going down hill….gravity was the only thing I found wrong, but what would any other tire do. I’ve had these tires for 4 + years. I swapped them the first 2 years, and ran them straight the last two years, and there’s still .8 tread left from the original . 10. I’m actually trying to wreck these tires so I can buy a new set, but they’re hanging on. My next set will be these tires. I even passed up those famous Finish tire brands nobody can pronounce for these, and glad l did.
I switched to Continentials 2 yrs ago and haven't had a single flat since.
V730 lasts like the RS4, but is way faster.
Kumho v730 are pretty affordable in super class. But endurance 200 will save $$.
Falken Azenis RT660 or Kumho Ecsta V730. RT660 might be a smidgen faster, but the V730 is more durable and will last for more runs.
I switched my run flats with Continental TrueContact Tour54 and the experience is night and day. Such a smooth and quite drive. The whole car genuinely feels much lighter.
I've been buying Kumho Ecsta PS91, but I'd like to try something different.
Every time this is question is posted, I have the same answer: Gatorskins suck, by the Conti 4 seasons. Yes gator skins are tough, but they also feel like they're made of soap when cornering in the wet. 4 Seasons are *so* much more supple.
