Tires MICHELIN or Continental
The Continental ECS (Extreme Contact Sport) are worlds ahead of them and do amazing in the rain.
I use the DWS06 currently, used on 17 CWP as well. I only notice the sidewall negatively when trying to take highway on-ramp curve at high speeds. But even then it’s not dramatically different than stock Dunlop’s. I actually enjoy them more during the rest of driving because of smoothness.
Michelin pilot sport 3+. Great grip and good in Vancouver rain.
Been running Continental SureContact RX in Texas for a while now
Not the same amount of rain as FL but we definitely have the heat
I have been riding on them for about 11,000 miles. 2018 GSW SE. Excellent tires so far. Properly inflated, not loud at all but do have a low grumble that is not bad. Fantastic wet tire. They remain planted in the rain and give good secure ride. Ride more like summer tires on dry pavement, cold or warm weather. Great ride I am in Wisconsin and they are superior to all seasons in snow, although nothing compares to true "snow" tires. I've driven in some pretty good storms and they are definitely sufficient for most conditions. Will slip in snow a bit here and there, but give plenty of traction for acceleration and braking. Ice... be careful, regardless, and these are not studded tires. I highly recommend them for all season driving, including right through the snow.
Picked up a screw in my rear tire yesterday on the stock tires. Figure I'll just replace the set. I've been getting a bunch of recommendations on Michelin Road 5 Tires.
I put a set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires on my previous Outback and they were great
I've had the GTI nearly 5 years now, and the mod list has been fairly simple: Different OEM wheels with Michelin AS/3+ tires + spacers to make them fit the way they should have stock JB1 piggyback module to give the car the in-gear passing power it should have had stock OEM Clubsport S rear exhaust to make it sound a bit more like a GTI, not an anonymous econobox Driver Gear springs to reduce the +10mm ride height from stock that the DCC equipped cars have All LED exterior light conversion so it doesn't look like it's from 2007 A bunch of VCDS tweaks to enable features the car should have had from the factory (comfort open/close on the windows, for instance) None of this dramatically changes the character of the car, and nothing I've done was terribly expensive; but it has made it more the car I wanted it to be stock.
I run the WinterContactSI on my M3 (and had them on my R), and they have been my all time favorite snow/winter tire.
I've the ProContract Tx as stock, and they are quiet on everyday surfaces, both at city and highway speeds. Ride is compliant and soft, but not squishy. However once they are on concrete highways, the road noise ruins it all.
