For better piece of mind, I also recommend Continental DWS06+. 3 years and close to 40K miles on them in my 370Z, they're just now at 5/32 of tread.
HANKOOK ION EVO AS SUV. These replaced my factory stock tires and they were much better.
I just switched from the Michelin Pilot Sport AS4s to the Continental DWS06 Plus. I've put about 300 miles on the Continentals. The ride on the Continentals is noticeably smoother and quieter comparted to the Michelins.
Continental Extreme Contacts DWS plus 06 EXCEL in wet performance...It's ones I've probably had over 10 sets of 4 on different VW's over the decades, 17+ VW lots of miles, lots of driving previously. Current 2019 Golf rrrrrr is Conti Extreme DWS, superb stuff.
Continental truecontact tour. There's a newer version but as I understand it it's essentially the same tire. Much better handling in the rain. They were slightly noisy at first but I don't notice it anymore, that was probably just from the breakin period.
I swapped wheels for 16's and I think my fuel efficiency overall is about the same as before. City fuel economy may be slightly better because of lower wheel weight, highway economy slightly worse due to drag from less aero rims. But I'm not sure if there's really any difference.
Continental CrossContact LX25 (I bought these) offered good snow/ice and wet performance.
I got these for my mom's Nissan Juke AWD and they are incredibly good in the snow. Highly recommended. The worst snow day we had last year here in CT, it was freezing rain at 22 degrees Fahrenheit, the rain was freezing onto tires in big clumps, but they kept good traction. Took my car home, was slipping all over the place, but traded for Mom's car and drove the rest of the day (I'm a delivery person) and these went up and down driveways at a good angle even with the snow, was very surprised how good they are. The salesperson talked me into buying them, but I think they are as good as described.
Na avtu sem dobil continental celoletne pa so mi goodyearke boljse, so bile pa tud tiste dobre (drugih nisem probal, sta pa ti dve konstantno najboljsi na testih).
Toyo EXTENSA A/S II, Michelin Defender 2, Continental TrueContact Tour, etc. These tires are all more or less the same idea, made to be affordable, quiet, efficient and generally average in every way with very marginal, just barely good enough winter performance to get a m+s rating.
I had this issue with four new Continental PureContacts almost two years ago. I had one blow out the side wall from a small pothole. Had it replaced and that one got a bubble in the sidewall. Had that one replaced and that one and another original got a bubble. No potholes hit, correct psi, etc. DT replaced them all with Michelin Defenders. I've hit some bad pot holes in Dallas highways and they have held up strong. Apparently Continental has had issues with sidewalls being weak due to cure time. It's unfortunate because they were so quiet, great traction in the rain and comfortable. I don't think I'd risk going with Continental again.
