Today I was able to return the Bridgestone Alenzas and have a different shop set me up with Pirelli Scorpion Verde 235/55/R18 All Season Plus tires and..... AWESOME. These tires are big feeling and grippy, quiet at highway speeds, AND the car is so much more responsive. I can;t compare to tires that I have not tried on this car, but these are a major upgrade from the Continentals that came stock and a very awesome place to be.
Got mine at America's Tire for 800. Best tires I ever owned!
The Michelin Pilot Sports A/S2 are the best tires you can buy for these besides Pirelli. I just put Continental DWS06 tires on my 2016 6 and it was like driving a different car. So much smoother and more responsive.
Not on your list but the best all season is the continental dws.
Noticable noise and handling difference after I switched them to Prirelli Cinturato P7 A/S+.
Well balanced and smooth at any speed. Tires are in great shape with almost new thread depth.
I have a set of the new Continental extremecontact sport ready to throw on very soon. These tires were designed to compete with the new Michelin summer tires. Tirerack did a performance test on the top summer tires and they performed just under the new Michelin PS4S but for way cheaper.
Most people conclude that Grand Prix are the best mix of puncture resistance, weight, grip and speed to sort of be the industry standard.
Thankfully they could install a new tire for ~$450 (Pirelli P7 Cinturato A/S).
Had the DWS and MXM4s on a 07 Passat 4Mo wagon. Destroyed the Conti's in 27K, the Michelins looked new at 25K. I won't buy the DWS again for my current 13 CC 4Mo.
