Within a couple weeks I tossed the summers and had Discount Tire install Continental DWS 6+ tires. I haven’t looked back since. I have over 27k miles on them. Lots of tread left (rotate every 5k). Upper mid west roads.
Granted, I went from Yokohamas to Continentals, but the increases are huge.
Nankang CRS hands down. The only good thing I’ve ever heard about Toyos in the past decade is that they come in a lot of sizes.
I have ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus by Continental. They are quiet, smooth, and amazing in the rain. Really happy with them.
10x better than the continentals in snow.
I got new tires for my mk7 Jetta gli yesterday at Discount Tires. Continental dws06plus, 225/45/18, or whatever stock size is. Great tires. Holy cow, these tires make the car drive that much better.
My favorite tire for the typical forester/outback suburb crowd I see at work is still the Continental contiprocontact series. Decent wear, decent performance, easy to install, easy to patch, balance is usually good.
I've always had good performance out of Conti GPs. I've tried other brands but keep coming back to them.
Recently replaced my worn out 18 inch Primaxys (36000 miles) with the Continental DWS06s. It looks like a 5-10% efficiency drop versus the stock tires. I think they are a little quieter on the highway though. Bumps do have a reverb sound the stocks didn't have.
My last two sets of tires were Hankook Ventus V2, which were okay (no idea how they are M+S rated) and a set of Continental ContiProContacts which I bought after several recommendations from friends and I will never buy another Continental tire in my life, they were terrible in almost every single way.
