Tires MICHELIN or Continental
Just replaced my front toyos at 36k miles that had about 1mm of tread above the indicator (replaced with contis)
I have Michelin cross climate 2's. Been about 3, maybe almost 4yrs now. About 35k miles put on them. Maybe a bit more? Threads are still pretty good.
Did Michelin second and got 35,000 then did continental dws last fall.
If you only do pavement the michelins are by far the best quiet and smooth. Also do great in snow an water.
I ran some Continental ExtremeContact Force for a year on my GRC. The only thing that killed them is when it got too cold here in FL "15 degrees in the winter" and the bands popped. Still had good tread and did 25k miles on them, 5 tracks days, tons of mountain roads while on road trips, and were pretty good on the road till the end.
Continental ECS2 are good on the street, comfortable and quiet, and more resistant to shoulder-chunking than Michelin PS4S on track.
I went with the Continental DSW06's on my WRX. Think I got them at Discount Tires for like $840. Absolutely fantastic tires and I might be putting them on my prelude next.
I got Continental UltimateContacts from Can Tire, in 195/65/r15. The ride isn't really any better cause of the added weight but traction wise that have been amazing
The road hugger and kumho are pretty good budget tires. The continental is a nice high end model. And the sentury is pretty bad.
My buddy only got 1300 out of the rear on his R1200rs with the Conti-motions.
