Tires YOKOHAMA or Continental
I just put the continentals on my b9 s4 today. Got a great deal on them at a local shop. 850 installed. They’re the best all around tire if you want good traction in snow and still have great summer performance in my opinion.
I've been running the Continentals on my current S5, the S3 before that and the GLI before that. Everyone will have different opinions, but I love them. Excellent dry traction, good wet, decent snow. I run my S5 once a year at a track and they do great there too.
Having come from Michelin PS4 Summer - and Michelin PS4 AS before that.. I can firmly say I prefer the Conti DSS06 for AS.
I run the DWS's on my M2, they're a good tire. Not amazing, but decent in the wet which is what i care about up in Seattle.
I patched up the tubes, treated it to some Continental Double Fighter tires (feels like flying!), ditched the ridiculous bullhorn on the handlebar, swapped out the brakes, and gave it a new saddle.
To my surprise, this beast rides *incredibly* smooth compared to my trusty aluminum Specialized with 29" wheels! It’s way more agile and feels lighter
Continental DoubleFighter - More pavement friendly but works on singletrack. This is my current choice for riding the Ohio to Erie Trail which is mostly paved surface.
I run continental Dws06+ year round and have yet to have any issues in the wet or snow. I also push the car quite hard in the summer time and they grip pretty well.
1. Continental Control Contact Sport SRS+
2. Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06+
These were the two options I considered and ended up getting the first one at Discount Tire. It was the cheapest option. I just got em last month.
I’ve always ran the Conti DWS06 all seasons, probably 8 different sets of them on numerous types of vehicles. I love the tires when they are new (dry, wet and snow) until about 1/3 thread… then they become noisy imo.
Did a bunch of research and ended up with Yokohama avid ascend GT. Reviews were good, dry and wet performance were all great, I only saw some negatives about wear being quicker and 1 Reddit comment about how bad it handed.
That Reddit comment was right. On center it was the most vague I could turn the steering wheel a few inches and feel nothing. It felt like it was drifting at times as if it were gusting.
