Tires Continental or Vredestein
Got Vredensteins on an older honda. They are great -- track well in the wet and muck and good handling all around.
I had a positive experience with Vredestein! They performed really well in both wet and dry conditions, and the handling was super precise. What surprised me the most was how evenly they wore.
I have vredensteins on my 2011 c300. They have about 20,000 miles on them and are still pretty decent. They have been awesome in the snow and rain this winter and were pretty awesome in the summer. I've probably got another 10,000 miles of wear, which is awesome for this car.
Switched to DH SuperSoft Kryptotal Front w/o cushcore. Great setup. Conti DH weighs same as Assegai EXO+. More damped, faster rolling, great grip.
Been running a Xynotal Enduro soft for my rear that's been awesome.
After having less than stellar results with Maxxis tires searching for fast rolling, longevity, & with a lot of grip for the loose over hard terrain I normally ride in central Texas, I recently switched to Continental Xynotal DH casing soft compound rear tire.
It's pretty amazing on the rear. Faster rolling than the Dissector DD 3C MaxxGrip it replaced, with more grip, and much faster rolling than the Assegai 3C MaxxTerra EXO+ my Ibis Ripmo AF came with front and rear.
I went with a high rolling resistance tire that I find works well in wet weather and mountain roads , Continental pure contact LS.
I put the Quatrac Pro tires on our Model Y about 8,000 miles ago and have been very happy with them. No noticeable difference in road noise, basically no efficiency difference, but much better grip in wet and slick conditions.
I had this same model on my prior VAG vehicle (in 245/40R19) and pretty typical for OEM tires: smooth ride, reasonably quiet, handles ok (both dry & wet), and can cope with an early- or late-season light snow when you're caught unexpectedly w/o your winter or all-weather tires.
Hit a pothole on the right side and replaced those with another brand (different from the stock Continentals, moved the Continentals to the front... and anything above 35 MPH the traction control light would flash. Anything above 55, I could very distinctly feel the car sliding all over the lane. It was very unsettling. I went back, returned the new ones, and bought the stock Continentals.
