Continental ECF. They're 200's but more endurance focused. Not a fast tire but can stay consistent through a whole HPDE session. Really good performance in the rain, somehow they move a bunch of water. Long lasting as well... many heat cycles.
Too bad you don't have 16s, then you could buy the Continental DWSs(205/50/16s on mine) for the ultimate upgrade in rainy day tire. I spent 45 minutes on Saturday chucking my car actively trying to get it to slip and slide in the rain on mountain road bends and it just wouldn't let go.
I replaced the Dunlops with a set of Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02s with a bit higher treadwear rating, so hopefully they last much longer with the alignment being fixed.
Neogens are amazing tires in the dry and solid in the wet, but if you push them in the rain like you do when it's not you're gunna have a bad time. I will say, they are \*soft\*, its like a 200 treadwear rating, if you do a lot of highway traveling you're probably not going to get a ton of life out of them.
I run them on my fit that lives in one of the wettest areas of PNW and so far they have been great. Dry performance is phenomenal for the price point.
i run this on my EG, they are fine in rain as long as you are not stupid while driving in wet conditions, good if tire if you are lowered with some camber because the inner part is reinforce for that reason
Off topic but my g35 has front tires from continental dsw06+ they are pretty god damn good.
I’ve ran both the Continentals and Yokohamas. General is owned by continental and make mid tier tires(continental would high tier in this case)
For your tire size, I’d take continental. The DWS06 is an amazing tire and well worth the price. Ran it on my 2017 Focus ST all winter long in the Portland area and they handled great!
Currently have them on my 2006 Acura TSX in south Cali and same thing. Good ride comfort, handling, and grippy around the corners.
Maybe I just got lucky. I used to always get Michelin's, but my CC came with Conti (Pro Contact I think), so went for them again, and then picked another Conti that is a little sportier (not DWS06, just PureContact LS), and they have been OK. Steering feel hasn't been as good as with Michelin, but I did not experience any problems.
That said continental trail/endurance casing is shit and probably worst tires I’ve ever had on wet roots/rocks.
