Not low grip but sticky in yet durable and fairly quick is the Kumho Ecsta V730.
Shit for we weather tough, to be fair
We went with Kumho Crugen tires when it was time to replace the stock Yokohama Geolanders. Its probably been 20K miles and they have been great. Quiet and the car handles the same.
Continental ECF. They're 200's but more endurance focused. Not a fast tire but can stay consistent through a whole HPDE session. Really good performance in the rain, somehow they move a bunch of water. Long lasting as well... many heat cycles.
Too bad you don't have 16s, then you could buy the Continental DWSs(205/50/16s on mine) for the ultimate upgrade in rainy day tire. I spent 45 minutes on Saturday chucking my car actively trying to get it to slip and slide in the rain on mountain road bends and it just wouldn't let go.
I replaced the Dunlops with a set of Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02s with a bit higher treadwear rating, so hopefully they last much longer with the alignment being fixed.
Off topic but my g35 has front tires from continental dsw06+ they are pretty god damn good.
I just put on Kumho RoadVenture AT and have had no complaints. CO just got hit with a pretty good snow storm (as least 6 inches) last week and they did great driving in it.
The Kumho is a far superior tire from a respected manufacturer based in South Korea. The Radar might look like the better deal up front, but it will likely wear fast and not perform anywhere near as good as the Kumho tires.
I used to run Kumho tires on my 99 SE-L maxima when I was in my early 20's they were decently performing tire. I pretty much only ran their UHP summer tires though. As a brand they've been around for a long long time, they are probably upper mid-range tires depending on the type you have.
The Version 1 of the Conti I had on my Z06 for a while and wasn't impressed, got greasy when hot which apparently is better now and slightly sharper turn in over the PS4S.
