Tires MICHELIN or Continental
recently replaced OEM falken on my 21 CE for some Pilot sports and smh.. idk why i waited so long. car feels so great driving. tires have great grip. corners takign with ease. and if acceleration is amazing.
Michelin Defender 2. I replaced all 4 just past 30,000 miles. Expensive, but high quality and rated to last 80,000 miles.
The stock tires suck. They last less than 20k miles on my Mazda, so I opted for the Continental DWS06+, which have been fantastic.
Others have recommended it the Conti Extreme Contact Sport (and Sport 2) are great tires for dry but one of the best wet tires as well. It out performs the Michelin in the Wet by a noticable amount with the current compounds
If you’re gonna be “cheap” and just run all seasons, I got no complaints with the Continental Extremecontact DWS 6
Ive used then for daily driving to work and driving to 10+ autocross and tracks days a year, I’ve been pretty competitive in cam-c with this tire and they still have 1 more year in them. I live in Utah so we get plenty of wet weather. My most competitive autocross events are the wet weather events.
Michelin X-Ice this go around . Have had Hakkas, blizzaks, and nexen over the years.
I'm currently running continental premium contact 5's on my C30. They do certainly grip well! My only minor gripe with them is that the sidewall seems a little stiff for the suspension
There’s a guide by Michelin out there and according to that a little surface level dry rot is nbd, especially in the tread area
I was in a prius with michelin defenders on rt90 in MA during a rainstorm at 65 with cruise control when the front wheels just spun out, lost traction
