I highly recommend swapping the tires out for GP5000s. I’m happy that I did it when I went to carbon wheels.
I had Extreme Contacts and loved them. I swapped my ContiProContact5s on my 24 S5 Sportback for Extreme Contact DWS06+ as I had them on my 17 Fusion Sport and absolutely loved them.
Blasted through a Salt Lake winter storm a few weeks ago with these. Were amazing on my S3 so I highly recommend. I'm very happy with the continentals though!
I ran these on my Mustang when I couldn't get Pilot Sport 4S tires at the time. I liked them. They were grippy and comfortable but did have a softer sidewall than the Michellin.
I’m on my second set on my Lexus GS350 and I love them. To me they’re just as quiet and grippy as the Michelin PS4S that came on the car but a little cheaper. I do think the continental wears a little faster but it’s almost negligible. They’re fantastic in the rain and dead quiet which were my main concerns.
I use Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 on my S4 and they are really good and comfortable tires. I switched from Pirellis because they were way too stiff. Great on smooth roads but shit on bumpy roads. In New England there are lots of bumpy roads...
I just put a set of AS-07's on my 2020 Altima. Compared to the stock Continental True Contacts they are definitely better as far as handling and in the rain and snow they are much better. They are also a little bit louder on the road and it's noticable but they really aren't that loud. I'd say that for the price they are very good.
Tire brand I have always been very satisfied with Michelin Tires for traction, ride and quite ride (little road noise).
I have those on my c63S. They are ok, but I feel the same about the Michelin offering as well. All seasons suck. Not as much wet or dry grip, louder then summers. But they are cheaper and last longer.
I'm not happy at all with the OEM Continental ProContact TX . I had a sidewall blowout (photo below) on I-40 in AZ with less than 1500 miles on the car.
