I ran some Continental ExtremeContact Force for a year on my GRC. The only thing that killed them is when it got too cold here in FL "15 degrees in the winter" and the bands popped. Still had good tread and did 25k miles on them, 5 tracks days, tons of mountain roads while on road trips, and were pretty good on the road till the end.
Continental ECS2 are good on the street, comfortable and quiet, and more resistant to shoulder-chunking than Michelin PS4S on track.
I went with the Continental DSW06's on my WRX. Think I got them at Discount Tires for like $840. Absolutely fantastic tires and I might be putting them on my prelude next.
I got Continental UltimateContacts from Can Tire, in 195/65/r15. The ride isn't really any better cause of the added weight but traction wise that have been amazing
Got an old Golf 4 which I inherited from my grandparents and I only use it like 1/2 times a week.
It got Continental winter tires on it from 2011. Thread is like new and no cracks. Drove thru snow with it, heavy rain and heat. Tires are not showing any signs of being bad. It's like driving on rails with it, very impressive performance from Continental.
Conti DWS 06 for blasting around town
The DWS06+ just grip so good on any type of surface on different driving conditions. Never were able to hit corners so well without hearing my tires screeching
Conti ECS 02 tires. I had PS4S tires before and I like the contis more
The road hugger and kumho are pretty good budget tires. The continental is a nice high end model. And the sentury is pretty bad.
Every single VW I have owned that came with Continental Tires I have had to replace them well before their tread "Lifetime" This time I need to replace a set at 22k miles because they have hit their wear bar, this despite regular rotation. Absolute TRASH!!!
