Owner reviews for tires

I’ve owned both AS4 and DWS 06 and would recommend the DWS 06 for your use case. better wear characteristics and more grand touring / balanced street comfort vs performance compared to AS4. AS4 is a fantastic tire - but I would only run it on a performance car like GTI, R. It was overkill on my Alltrack. I liked the ride on my GTI with AS3+ a lot though. I’ve ran the DWS06 on my gf’s JSW TDI for 3 years 30K miles now and they look new, barely any wear. I also live in Philly and the DWS are super forgiving in 235/45/17. Much more than the AS4’s I had in 235/40/18 on the Alltrack.

I highly recommend Michelin AS4. Excellent all-around tire.

Hankooks seem fine on my 2023 LR, decent tread depth, and grip, seem fairly quiet too.. will see about tread life.

I have the Quatrac 5 on my wife's Civic. I feel like they're kind of noisy, but that's definitely the car's fault to some degree. Otherwise, they ride well and have great grip.

I've gotten nearly 70k out of my Duratracs. I'm leaning towards Wildpeaks for the next ones, but I can't complain about longevity with the Duratracs.

I went with Wild Peak AT3W because I’ve got 70k out of them driving on dirt/rock most of the time. My factory tires were about gone in 12k

I recently got some continental extreme contacts dw 06 plus. I noticed a much better ride and grip than the pirelli tires. The tire chirp is noticeable less than before.

For a little more money the Altimax RT45 from General (owned by Continental) is actually an exceptional tire, that's what I have on my Crown Victoria, my dad's Camry, and my stepmom's Sonata. It's probably the best thing you can buy for the money

Reviews say its major shortcoming is that it generates a lot of loud noise.

Westlake tires are becoming a "known" brand name. It still doesn't change the fact they are a low end Chinese tire. That said, they will wear out fast as with all other Chinese tires the tread compound is very soft (low treadware rating). They don't hug corners well, there not fantastic at shuttling water, they are horrible in adverse terrain/weather, & they can be difficult to balance.
