Tires MICHELIN or Hankook
I also have had bad experiences with conti tires both on my 2012 CC and my 23 Arteon. In both which I've owned since new the michelin pilot sports have been phenomenal.
I had both road 6 and rosso 4 on my zx6r and i noticed a small difference between the two in terms of grip riding hard through curves the road6 felt good, the rosso only slightly better . Not really enough for me to justify getting rosso 4 again for now.
I run Michelin power 6.
3k miles and they look brand new.
Michelin; been caught in rain dumps on long trips and the michelins were fabulous. Solid in the dry and i felt safe in the wet as well.
I decided to try out Michelin x ice snow tires this year. They’ve been great. My EN with these snows is much better in the snow than my previous forester with all seasons.
I have been using Michelin Pilot Sport S 4, and they are the best tire I've ever used on the car and I have used many brands.
When I finally wear out my Bolt tires I am going to be a decent set of Michelines possibly one size up, and see how long they last me.
As unbelievable at this picture looks I have had exactly the same tyre wear on my R58 - my front tyres 3-4mm across tread and both rear tyres almost completely bald across entire width and these were Michelin PS 4
I had commander 2s on my V-Star 650 and commander 3s on my Road Star. They perform pretty similarly in my opinion. My only gripe with the 3s is that they get this harmonic resonance at certain speeds. I thought my engine was having a fit. Turns out it wasn't the engine, the 3s just like to hit that sweet spot and send vibrations in waves. It's hard to describe.
After 2K miles i could not stand the road noise anymore. I upgraded my tires and what a difference it was. that annoying road noise disappeared and grip got a lot better.
