Tires Continental or LANDSAIL
Continental UC6 is one of the best vfm Tyre I have ever used. It has good dry and wet grip levels. It has good feedback and response.
Swapped from the continentals on my WRX last year and haven't looked back.
The conti pro contacts were factory on my wife's car and we've replaced them a couple times now. We've gotten 50,000 miles per set. You could run them longer, maybe another 10,000, but they start feeling a little splashy on the road before 50k.
Huge fan of the Continental DWS 06 Plus, had the prior non plus version for about 5 years on my supercharged MINI Cooper, and they were fantastic. The plus version is even better!
Conti extreme contact DWS are the ???? all season.
The Contienental tire, conti pro contact, has performed well in everything I've thrown at it. Not a great replacement for winter tires, but has handled all of my driving.
I got continental run flats on my Buick. 4 years old. I had a small hole patched up like 2 or 3 years ago, thats about it, they been holding up very well ever since.
I just went through this debate with myself and went for the conti DWS 06 plus tires. They are still brand new, but I'm happy with the choice. What swayed me to get these over the AS4s was more than one review mentioned that the AS4s had a "distinct road noise" that was ever so slightly noticeable when driving.
Maybe I'm just luck as far as flats go, but I've never really been pleased with the ride and grip trade off for something like the 4 Season compared to something more in the "performance" category.
Not caring about rolling resistance is one thing, but something like a GP5000 (or similar tire from whatever brand,) just rides better.
I got rid of the Continentals because the rubber was way too soft. I was always getting flats in those tires.
