Continental DWS, best tire for the money in my opinion
Last summer I got Nokian Hakka Green and I have been very happy.
So far I think the continentals transition response actually matches MINIs personality better, despite it having lower absolutely grip.
I’m rocking Conti PureContact LS’s on my 14 hatchback and they’ve been awesome
They were new this spring, but so far no complaints. Half my driving is gravel before I reach the asphalt. So far I’ve only had one chance to take them up further into the bush, but with the snow slowly melting there too got some new adventures planned.
Mines a daily driver and I run continentals for snow and heavy rain. The only way your slipping with them is if your trying to.
So far I really like them. No range hit I can’t blame on them being brand new tires, great warranty, and way better traction and cornering.
I love my Sports. This summer will be my second season on my current set. Only have about 11k on them so far.
The Sports are a phenomenal tire though. They handle my IS38 with ease and boy do they feel amazing in the mountains.
I run mine at 36 (cold), had them about 8.5k now. I used 38 for a while but once they start to wear and the tread squirm and tread depth starts to go away, they don't ride quite as soft as when they are new. Mine are probably 35 - 40% worn. Steering response gets a lot better as they wear too.
They are very squirmy tires, a poor choice for a sporty car IMO. I have a set of Michelin PA4 snows that are definitely better dry performers than the DWS. I purchased the DWS once for an Audi A4, but I returned them in less than a week.
