Michelin pilot sport as are the best all season tire out there, hence why you see them on supercars and hypercars.
But the best set I have ever owned was a set of Michelin Defenders. Smooth and you always felt glued to the road.
Michelin defender 2s here's awesome tire performs well in heavy ass rain
I have Michelin Defenders on my ‘17 Jetta and they’re great.
Really liking the road 6's, although I'm not doing 10% off-road. These have been fine in light gravel fwiw.
I bought the Conti Sport 02's for my E63S and the grip is very good. If these can that much torque and weight, they should be a breeze with the R.
For summer i have been running continental extreme contact sports. They have been great and very grippy!
All season: Continental DSW06+
Summer: Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
Honestly though, the Continental’s held up great in summer too. Good in snow as well
I found a wood screw neatly inserted into the sidewall so it couldn't be patched. $400 for a new Continental.
I bought Continental LX25’s. They felt unsure, unstable, kind of jittery right from day 1 at high speed. New replacement set feels slightly better but still not smooth as glass. The steering wheel doesn’t shake, but I feel through the seat and floor a sense of unsteadiness. Like the car is a bit jittery, where the Michelins felt smooth as glass. BUT - I also can’t believe these tires are so junky. They weren’t cheap tires. They feel great up to 50mph , ok from 50-65, and then above 70 it’s jittery.
