Tires Continental or SUNNY
Conti Sport Contact Force tires. The absolute best summer tire. The testers are right, it's almost telepathic. 40 mpg on long trips.
Switched over to Continental ExtremeContact on all my other cars and noticed they feel good all the way to the bald spot. I’ve recently switched our MYLR to Continental and it feels great. Quieter, feels softer, and more confident in corners with the same PSI.
I ended up going with the Continental ExtremeContact after reading a bunch of reviews and am very happy with them
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.
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.
Oh, and my OEM tires Continental PureContacts wore out....fast! (And I run snows in winter). Crap tires I won't buy again.
