Tires Continental or Uniroyal
Personally I have no problem with them. I ALWAYS get Continentals on my car (2015 Honda Pilot) and they are nice and grippy and last forever.
Michelin or Continental are my favorite brands for cars. I'm on my third set of Extreme Contact DWS. Average 50k a set. Good balance of grip and mileage.
Continental ECF. They're 200's but more endurance focused. Not a fast tire but can stay consistent through a whole HPDE session. Really good performance in the rain, somehow they move a bunch of water. Long lasting as well... many heat cycles.
Too bad you don't have 16s, then you could buy the Continental DWSs(205/50/16s on mine) for the ultimate upgrade in rainy day tire. I spent 45 minutes on Saturday chucking my car actively trying to get it to slip and slide in the rain on mountain road bends and it just wouldn't let go.
I replaced the Dunlops with a set of Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02s with a bit higher treadwear rating, so hopefully they last much longer with the alignment being fixed.
Off topic but my g35 has front tires from continental dsw06+ they are pretty god damn good.
I’ve ran both the Continentals and Yokohamas. General is owned by continental and make mid tier tires(continental would high tier in this case)
For your tire size, I’d take continental. The DWS06 is an amazing tire and well worth the price. Ran it on my 2017 Focus ST all winter long in the Portland area and they handled great!
Currently have them on my 2006 Acura TSX in south Cali and same thing. Good ride comfort, handling, and grippy around the corners.
Tire upgrade is the single best purchase you can make for this car. Continental DWS 06 tires truly transformed the driving experience.
I use Gatorskin clincher on my commuter bike. They are very durable, with little wear marks after 2 years of use. But they aren’t light and fast like GP5000s. If you are a roadie, then I wouldn’t recommend Gatorskins for sport rides.
I've had Uniroyals for a bit more than a year now, and honestly I'm not so impressed. I find it they lack grip in heavy cornerring, and also the 1st gear spins like mad if you try to step on it.
