Tires Continental or Nokia
I run Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires. 50k tire. No complaints.
I did have Continental ExtremeContact DSW06's on my ST and they were really good.
They felt so sketchy I went out and dropped 800 on continentals and I can barely make them break traction and can corner way harder. Feel more planted and safe.
My wife purchased a used Acura Integra. When I drove it just didn't handle as precise as I expected. We replaced them with.... Continental. All of a sudden the handling was much better and safer.
My first impression: way less road noise than the Duratracs. The Outpost Nat E's are maybe a little bit less fuel efficient than the standard Duratracs but not a huge amount -- 0.5mph on the highway, 1mph around town, maybe.
You could save some money and have better handling by choosing something that's not run flat. I use Continental Extreme Contact tires (\~$947 installed with no alignment at Les Schwab, and yes I could have gotten them cheaper elsewhere but LS gives out credit like it's free candy) and I love them so far...
My dealer wanted $1600 to replace run flats and do the alignment. I went to a tire place and I got non run flats from Nokian and the ride is better, mileage is up a bit and it was $1150 all in
Conti's DH tires are just the best. Its almost concerning how much grip I have compared to similar maxxis tires.
Long-time fan of Conti 4000's. Discovered the Conti 5000's were too tight to fit my previous wheelset, Mavic Ksyrium Elite UST.
Currently, pairing Pirelli PZero Velo 4S tubeless with HED Belgium Plus wheels. The Conti 5000's do fit and run well with the HED wheels.
Replaced mine at 19k. I live in Oregon and want good tread and channels on the rainy roads. Dealership offered to sell me the same tire. I laughed and got Continentals elsewhere. Much better.
