That being said the tires are Laufenn S Fit AS. I must say after 2k miles on them I actually think they are great tires so far.
The Dunlop Direzza ZIII is worth looking into. A close friend has half a season of autocross and 4 time trial events (So about 17 twenty to 30 minute long sessions) on his ZIII in a 2013 NC and they still have life left. For autocross they're basically a less grippy Re-71R, but they come into their own on track.
Dunlop direzza zIII's good wear 9/10 traction never get greasy, great stiff feel and break away.
Once the q4s are over like, 70 degrees, or basically u ride a few miles on the turns gently, they'll be warm enough and will stick like glue.
I did 15k mi on a rear Dunlop RoadSmart II and 25k on the front.
My rear tire lasts 12000 miles or 20000 kilometers easily, the front probably more.
2 years ago, I got Dunlop Winter Sport 4Ds (205/55/16) for 443 shipped. 4Ds aren't the best winter tire out, but really I didn't need blizzaks.
Have Dunlop Sig HP 235/45r17 on my Volt. Not a bad tire. Grip is much higher than the stockers of course. Weird thing though, around 2 different off ramps at a similar speed to the stock tires, the ESP light comes on. I know it is getting light on the back inside tire, but I am coasting, not braking. Though, not sure how the regen works with the rear tires. So maybe the car is braking the back tires at the same amount as the regen is braking the front axle? Either way, never got an ESP light on any cornering with stock tires, and get it occasionally with the new ones. Slight slight bit of howl, but coming from the crap hypermile OE tires, everything is going to be louder. For the price I paid, I will not complain a bit.
40f is like ice skates . I drove in 4 inches on dunlops in my 18 wrx , wow , that was a challenge
Below 40F the tires get hard and lose grip. Add a little bit of snow and they are slick as fuck. The awd helps but the overall loss of traction makes driving sketch as fuck.
