It may not be universal, but I can tell you from my experience, Continentals and damn good tires.
I went with the Continentals. Been on them for almost a year now. Feel great with good grip for spirited driving in the mountains.
OEM Continental Cross contact lasted about 40k miles.
I’ll third the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02s. Every bit of what you’d expect from a flagship summer performance tire. Dry grip is phenomenal, with excellent wet weather performance. Steering feel has been very complementary to the quick rack on the Giulia. Noise level is very good, considering the overall package - much improved over the original ECS I had on my SS. I don’t think you can go wrong with either these or the PS4S.
I also put Continental ExtremeContact tires on. While they recommended summer performance tires, I went with all-seasons. A little more sidewalk flex but I still had to drive it when conditions got below freezing.
i went from shitty $70 westlakes on my crown vic, to $230 a piece continental dws06+. felt like a completely different car and handles so much better.
I bought conti extreme contacts for my last set about 2 years ago,and i will only be buying conti extreme contacts from now on.
Upgrading from the stock tires to GP5000's will make much, much more of a difference than the wheelset upgrade.
Haven't used them in the snow yet but Discount Tire will match Walmart's $146.00 price on the 235/50/17 Continental Pure Contacts. I've had really good luck with Continentals on my Edge, Taurus and Fusions. They've been OK in Michigan winters but nothing spectacular.
One of ours was constantly losing pressure, none of the other three ever needed more air, but the same one was constantly dipping under 30 - never went lower than 24 though.
