Tires Continental or TIGAR
Always had great experience with my Contis....great grip in the dry and as expected in the wet.
I immediately felt the difference when it got cold and switched to Continental DSW 06 plus and they are spectacular.
If these tires are the only ones that meet your budget requirements then the continental is going to suit you best in my opinion, obviously you could spend more and get a better tire from Les Schwab or Costco, BUT again every budget has its own needs, personally Ive owned a vehicle with those continentals on it and it didn’t do bad in the rain and I didn’t overly notice road noise
I have those continental tires on my car right now and they’re really good
I'm a Conti guy, they're on both our cars. Premium brand, never let me down. I've run Kumhos in the past and they were good for the price.
The best tire by far is Continental. No question. The Kumho is the only one I would even think of putting on a car.
Continental > Kumho > Road Hugger > Sentury
Thanks for all the advice guys, went ahead and ordered the Continental ECS 02s, fingers crossed I’m happy with them. My biggest issue with my RS4s is that it takes about 2 runs on my favorite backroad to get enough heat in them to really stick and I don’t push my car on public roads like I used to. If I get the added benefit of making my car more daily-able that’s not a bad thing either.
Continental extreme contactforce (275F/325R) probably slots somewhere slightly above the goodyears in pace with probably less longevity.
Some people like them, I really hate them. I find them slow, hard and not grippy, not puncture resistant at all, heavy. My back wheel would just slide around on its own when it was wet out.
