Tires Pirelli or Continental
Been using Contis for many years now.They are excellent and not too pricey for most common sizes.Great all-arounders
Gen 3: Ran Pirelli Angel GT and GT 2 and recently fitted a set of Road 5.
The GTs will out grip your skill level and performance of the bike in my experience. I've thrashed them on nice South African twisties and they just didn't want to let go.
+1 for CC2’s.
Great all around tire on my M3 LR AWD 19” w/Boost in every area except range.
Sure it’s not a racing tire, but compared to the OEM Conti’s the wet and snow grip is sooo much better. Dry grip is almost as good. Durable, comfortable, great wear.
Continental DWS06+ is my choice after a lot of research.
This is on a Performance where I like traction. It is quiet and efficient.
Just got these same Pirelli tires on my 2016 EX-L. So far they’ve been great :)
I replaced the original Continental Pro Contact tires with somewhat cheaper and longer tread wear rated (70k mile) Continental Pure Contact.
I put a set of these on mine (19”) about two months ago now. They’re doing well. My efficiency doesn’t seem to have been impacted much, they’re not really any louder than the OEM Continentals. They’re good in the rain, but they do perhaps have slightly less dry grip due to likely being a harder compound. Overall, I’ve been very happy with them.
Top of the bracket is the Pilot Sport 4S from Michelin or the Extreme Contact Sport from Continental which are the best performance without getting into track tires plus they have treadwear warrenty, but that comes at a much steeper cost.
I swapped out at 36k to Continental EXtremeContact DWS06 (50,000 mile warranty). They were $1000 installed at my tire place. It looked like the stock Primacy's would have been $200-300 more. The Continentals are less efficient (\~5% or so), but the extra money I will spend on electricity over the life of the tire doesn't make up the cost difference. Currently have about 10k miles on the new tires. Can't tell any real difference in noise or ride comfort level.
One of the best mods I’ve done in my car so far is Motegi wheels in 17” and Firestone Firehawk.......the stock Contis suck!
