Tires Hankook or Continental
I've had Michelin PS AS3+ on the C300 4Matic, Conti DWS06 on the E46 M3, Michelin PS AS4 on the E46 M3, Bridgestone RE-980AS on the E550 and Michelin PS AS4 on the E550. Main reason I haven't gone back to the Conti is twofold- one, they're not much cheaper than the Michelins if you buy the Michelins on sale at Costco; two, I have to use an alternate tire dealer and I've had good luck with Costco in general.
I'm at 4 sets of XL rated Conti DWS06+ now between 2 sets on my former '13 Golf R & the sets currently on my '20 S3 & '17 Alltrack & I've loved them for year round true all season use. Never used them on a 2WD vehicle but absolutely zero complaints on my Haldex equipped rides I've had them on in dry/wet/snow/ice/slush, hot/temperate/cold.
I run the Continental DWS06+ on my Mustang and have been very happy with them. They're not quite as sharp as the Michelin Pilot AS3 that they replaced, but that's ok for my daily driver. Adding 2 psi over the factory recommended pressures helped firm up the steering response and ride enough to keep me happy.
Hankooks are great. I find them quieter than the Michelins. 2019 M3 LR AWD. Got them in May and drove all over AZ and CO with them. Hwy and off road too. Heavy rain and mud. Haven’t tried them in snow yet.
Continental DSW Extreme Contact is the best all season tire I have out on any of my cars. Dry/wet/snow…just all around an impressive tire.
I have been running 165/80 hankook k435 on my daily driver 1302 for over a year and haven't had any issues so far. Might want to check availability on those too.
I just changed to gp5k 30mm with tubiltos
Noticeably faster. Also went from 65 psi with 32 mm to 80 on the new 30s. And the tires let u know when the road surface is poor.
Just put these Conti Crosscontact LX25 on my Hyundai Sante Fe. So much better than the Kumho Crugen previously on that wore out very quickly (got 25,000 rotated every 7500 miles) and not quiet on the road. Yes the $110 rebate did help with the decision. Put on around 800 miles and pretty happy with them. Like other Conti, quiet on the road. There's less road feeling but for a family car, fine for my wife.
I run continental extremecontact dws 06+ on my golf. They’re the quietest tire I’ve found for the golf. The tires are ok. Not sport tires but have decent grip. Sidewall is a little soft.
Mine looked the same and were also overinflated at delivery. One of my tires didn't last 1000 miles, it developed a tear on the side.
