Tires MICHELIN or Continental
Michelin - I've had the Pilot Super Sport and Pilot AS4+. They're definitely not cheap, but hands down superior to the Continental equivalent. The AS4+ is almost grippy enough to compete with the Conti summer tire, while also being quieter and producing slightly higher gas mileage.
Have had multiple sets of Continental tires on my R32, really can't go wrong with their DWS 06's. They are excellent all arounders.
I've rocked Michelin AS4 (and their predecessor) for years in my cars...Zero issues and only switched to the Continental just to try something different...the performance they can now get out of all season tires is pretty impressive.
Drove the car to pick up my daughter at the airport yesterday in the rain. Normally wouldn\u2019t do that but wanted to test the Conti wet traction. So far I\u2019m impressed. They\u2019re miles better than the stock Bridgestones
As much as I love the Continental DWS 06+, I needed to purchase a set of Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires. The Continental DWS 06+ were fine. I got by the Winter without problems. There were only 3 times that I felt that I could use a more Winter like tire.
I put DWS 06+ on my 2016 GTI S at about 93,000 miles. At 142,000 I still have some tread left. They're far superior to the OEM Bridgestones (H rated? Seriously, VW?) I replaced those with TAs and they were pretty good, but the Contis are much better.
I have run Continental DWS 06 extreme contact all seasons on multiple vehicles and have been very impressed with grip. I would recommend these if you’re looking at replacements.
Not the 02 but I had a set of the Conti ECSs on my stage 1 MK7 R and loved them. Great wet traction, especially under power, and they were fairly quiet. I also have them on my current E92 M3 and they've stood up very well to two track days so far. Loads of dry grip.
The last years all the Michelin tires I have sold and mounted have been less than impressive, took lots of oe ones off with fairly low mileage 20 to 25k ,for my money hankooks generally have been a good value and have become my go to brand
I had some on my LR4 and they were completely destroyed after 15k miles. Thankfully they had a 60k mile warranty so Michelin paid for a good portion of the Pirellis that went on next.
