Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE
I also have had bad experiences with conti tires both on my 2012 CC and my 23 Arteon. In both which I've owned since new the michelin pilot sports have been phenomenal.
I had both road 6 and rosso 4 on my zx6r and i noticed a small difference between the two in terms of grip riding hard through curves the road6 felt good, the rosso only slightly better . Not really enough for me to justify getting rosso 4 again for now.
I just checked Tire Rack for the 17in size tires and they're in stock. There's also a Bridgestone version.
I run Michelin power 6.
3k miles and they look brand new.
Michelin; been caught in rain dumps on long trips and the michelins were fabulous. Solid in the dry and i felt safe in the wet as well.
I decided to try out Michelin x ice snow tires this year. They’ve been great. My EN with these snows is much better in the snow than my previous forester with all seasons.
I have been using Michelin Pilot Sport S 4, and they are the best tire I've ever used on the car and I have used many brands.
When I finally wear out my Bolt tires I am going to be a decent set of Michelines possibly one size up, and see how long they last me.
I ran R11s for a while before switching to slicks. They are about as close in profile as you can get when compared to slicks. My only gripe is that they overheated really quickly, to the point where regular slicks last 2-3x as long.
Those are ultra high performance summer tires and are the stock tires for the vb. Those are absolute hot garbage in anything below 40 degrees.
