I previously had the Michelin PS4S and the noise and ride were pretty good, noise was most noticeable on concrete roads. In December I changed to the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 and they are quieter and ride better than the PS4S, ride quality is actually pretty damn nice in normal mode and almost luxury like in comfort.
Can’t go wrong with the Conti. We have the American version on both a 718 and GTI and work very well in dry/wet.
Kupio sam Continental Sport contact 7, pozadi mi idu 275/30/20 a napred 245/35/20, da mi je neko pricao da moze takva razlika da bude u voznji sa gumama ne bih mu verovao u zivotu, auto zalpljen za put, nema buke, po kisi brutalne....
Ja mám rád Continental a zimu. Fungujú celkom fajn. Chvíľu som mal zimné Bridgestone ale ničili sa príliš rychlo
Those Continental's are great tires! I went through 2 sets on my Passat. I always felt secure while driving.
Agree with others who point out that you can run anything but, since you're looking for upgrades, I can attest that the Continental Extremecontact DWS 06+ is an absolutely fantastic UHP all-season if you're not in a climate where you have dedicated summer and winter tires. I went to them straight after Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires and I'm not going back to Michelins.
I have a set of Yokohama BluEarths, $120 per wheel including labour
3: [Yokohama ADVAN Apex V601]: this is a fav of all the porsche crowd at track days as they offer about 5% less grip than a PS4S or the other two tires I listed, but they will go all day at a track day and never chunk and still get 25k miles out of them.
I've driven them on a mod car, but hadn't driven said car on anything else.
I've got a set of Yokohama tires I use for the summer. Very little wear on them, they've seen about 15,000 km total use, not cracked or dry rotted, stored indoors over the winter. They are however from 2016. This year I started hearing a whine in the front end, sounded a bit like a wheel bearing. On freshly laid asphalt it's silent or nearly so. On older pavement it's louder. On the highway in rain, it got REALLY loud, and I could feel a hum in the pedal. Like, loud enough I slowed to about 80kph as I was worried something was going to let go on the car. Pavement went dry? Went back to the normal "bearing" noise. Theres no shaking or balance issues, they drive true and straight, it's just this noise. Car is a 2011 santa fe, in Canada. I bought the tires new in 2016.
