Every time this is question is posted, I have the same answer: Gatorskins suck, by the Conti 4 seasons. Yes gator skins are tough, but they also feel like they're made of soap when cornering in the wet. 4 Seasons are *so* much more supple.
I highly recommend swapping the tires out for GP5000s. I’m happy that I did it when I went to carbon wheels.
I had Extreme Contacts and loved them. I swapped my ContiProContact5s on my 24 S5 Sportback for Extreme Contact DWS06+ as I had them on my 17 Fusion Sport and absolutely loved them.
Blasted through a Salt Lake winter storm a few weeks ago with these. Were amazing on my S3 so I highly recommend. I'm very happy with the continentals though!
I’m on my second set on my Lexus GS350 and I love them. To me they’re just as quiet and grippy as the Michelin PS4S that came on the car but a little cheaper. I do think the continental wears a little faster but it’s almost negligible. They’re fantastic in the rain and dead quiet which were my main concerns.
I use Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 on my S4 and they are really good and comfortable tires. I switched from Pirellis because they were way too stiff. Great on smooth roads but shit on bumpy roads. In New England there are lots of bumpy roads...
I just put a set of AS-07's on my 2020 Altima. Compared to the stock Continental True Contacts they are definitely better as far as handling and in the rain and snow they are much better. They are also a little bit louder on the road and it's noticable but they really aren't that loud. I'd say that for the price they are very good.
Fuck the Maxxis Taxxes. I'm still waiting on a pair of Continental Kryptotal F's for $42 each from Jenson.
Continental, performs like a Michelin for half the price.
I haven't had to change tires for my MX yet, but I have almost exclusively used Continental Extreme Contact DWS on all my other vehicles. Ever since I switched them up on my S2000 years ago. Used them on my 2 370zs, use them on my Nissan LEAF. I am a big fan of them.
