That being said, I find continentals are pretty great for the money.
Second set of Hankook Ventus Evo2 purchased. Good tire for price. Just be sure to rotate em as I didn't (got a nail in one; plugged) and fronts got killed while backs still have plenty of tread (25 k on em).
Purchased four new Continental PureContact Tire 215/55R16XL 97H from Walmart in Yorktown for $107 each - installed on OEM 16x7 Catalunya wheels at 109242 miles.
Ran the V12s on my 370z and they were fine, with longer tread life than PSS (on that car anyways). Hankook is a solid brand, and unless you track your car, etc. just save the money for something else.
On my past cars I put about 50k miles on the old DWS and also about 30k on the DW and have always been happy with them. Saying that I ordered the DWS06 in size 255/35/19 the first couple weeks they were out and there no reviews yet. I knew that it would more than likely be a better tire than the old DWS which I was a happy with. I have already put about 20k miles on the tires and they have been great in the rainy Florida weather and so far have really shown no wear at all.
I had the previous generation Extreme Contact DWS tires on my previous car and liked them very much. I thought they were pretty good in the snow, especially for a high performance tire. The OEM Conti's on my Passat (it turns out) were good too...handled ok, wore well, but were getting a little noisy.
35 front and rear has always felt good. MPSS and Conti DW and DWS both love 35 PSI as to not roll the sidewall.
the grip is unreal compared to my old tires. Tires - $611 shipped (Continental Extremecontact DW 235-40-18, TireBuyer.com)
I just put on the Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 2s and the ride and noise level on these are absolutely fantastic for a discount tire. Rain performance is bleh though. I would recommend them for a car you don't corner with every time. Now let's see how long this quiet ride lasts...
Don't worry, the 3.6L driver will end up in the ditch because his hankook tires exploded.
