Tires MICHELIN or Continental
I would also recommend looking at the Nokian one and Michelin defender2.
The michelin defender 2 is rated for 70 or 80k miles, and is generally very quiet.
Upgrade them to michellin pilot sports all season worth every penny. More grip for that torque!
My bro who works at dealer said Continentals are good for daily road driving and much less than Michelin.
I have the wstx on right now. Comparable to my old Continental Wintercontact SI at like half the price. The only thing is it's louder and a bit harsher on the road. Great snow performance though.
ExtremeContact Sport tires are a great dual duty street performance/track tire. I did a bunch of track days on them with my R56 and they always performed great.
If you run 17 inch, go for 215/45R17. Get the Michelin Pilot sport 4s or 5, Goodyear Eagle F1 Asym 6, or Conti Sportcontact 7/extremecontact (depends if you're in EU or US). Those are the best allround tires you can get. 215/45 offers a bit more contact and a bit more comfort
I swapped my 22" Pirelli Scorpions with the 22" Michelin Defender MS/2 115H. The ride is much more supple, and they cost far less than the Scorpions, while the efficiency is nearly the same (within .14 kwh/mi).
I have DWS06+ on the Marauder and Michelin PS4's on the Kia. The Conti's are quiet and grippy, but I'm noticing they are cracking in between the tread, and they're not that old. I don't have enough seat time to judge the PS4's on my Kia, plus with them being the OEM tire, they may suck worse that regular, non OEM versions.
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.
