After some research, I decided to give the Contis another try. Except this time, I went with the Trail casing in the Endurance compound out back and Soft in the front (Kryptotal Fr and Re again). Took them out on the trails this morning and it was an entirely different experience from my first one with Contis. They were fast, light, and still had that great traction I remembered. To my surprise, even with the lighter casing, the sidewalls were still nice and supportive. I even hit some chunky rock gardens and they held their line perfectly without pinging the rim.
My buddy has the same year Accord, but a V6 Auto with CC2's, an these tires are AMAZINGLY good in the wet an even handling hydroplaning. I drove this car in the aftermath of Helene where there was tons of water an muds. I've since replaced all 4 with them, as having driven a hundred miles or so in my buddies' car, I am convinced.
I ended up replacing all 4 tires with Michelin Pilot sport AS4 and got the rims checked. Thankfully there is no damage to the rims ????.
Now I've been running Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 tires year round for the last 4 years. I went from well used Michelin PS3 Summer tires to the A/S 4s and there wasn't a lot of difference in terms of grip. I've been very happy with the A/S 4, so I bought a second set earlier this spring. The ride is great, and I personally think they are 90% as good in the summer as the PS3s and in the wet they are awesome.
I put 16000 miles on my 2024 Signature. I went with Michelin Defenders 2. I’m happy with them.
This post was made last year. I am now in a new vehicle, again with DWS06+ now my 3rd car with them and they are by far my favorite tires I've ever ran. They're perfect for a DD imo. Perfect balance between performance longevity comfort and road noise.
On my MK7.5, I\u2019m currently running CONTINENTAL EXTREME CONTACT DWS 06 PLUS and absolutely love them! They\u2019re probably the best tires I\u2019ve run on the 4 GTIs I\u2019ve owned over the years!!! \ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udffe
Me and my friend both are using continental UC6 on our cars. It seems to work well both on my rapid and his 2017 city.
Yep, I tracked these tires! They lasted 2 track days on my IS350. At novice speeds.
I liked the A/S 4 on the road. There was a time I had them on 3 different cars, because it kept braking performance consistent in any weather condition. It make for a nice and idiot-proof configuration for aggressive backroads bombing.
They were not yet worn, but they got so noisy after 15k, it drove me crazy.
