Owner reviews for tires

PS4S FTW. But if it HAS to be between these, then the Contis

If you have a Discount Tire near you they made a special Discount Tire only collab with continental called the Control Contact Sport SRS+, they’re basically the same thing but ~$10 cheaper on average and better overall, that’s what I’m getting in just a month or so here. It’s hard to directly compare them but people have said the SRS+ are even sportier with a firmer sidewall and better steering response. At the end of the day they’re very similar but the edge goes to SRS in performance and price.

My Michelin pilot sport all seasons have treated me well… My a4 came with the older version of those continentals, as soon as I switched them it felt like the steering was much sharper and road noise was much less. Rain performance is also nuts. I’d skip the Pirellis but i’ve only driven the summer tire which had the same issues (noise & numb steering)

If its one thing to NEVER be stingy on, is winter tires, especially in Norway. I've never even heard about these tier makers and I find it sus. Go for nokian hakkapeliitta, it's a brand driven and tested in nordic countries for decades. More pricy? Yes, definitely, quality is high and they know their stuff. But sure, buy some cheap made Chinese made tiers that will be worn out by the end of the year and probably serve you shit to nothing in terms of safety when its needed.

My recommendation is the Cont's

Same price, DWS06+ NO QUESTION. it’s the better tire. I’ve owned both. It’s much more expensive than the AS plus 3 where I live.

Contis all day . I love those dws.

I liked Ecopias, I had them twice on my 2013 and thought I got the best fuel economy out of those, however they only lasted like 60k of highway driving, and aren’t the quietest.

Vitours are terrible cold and don't work well if your car doesn't generate enough heat.

Don't go for yokohama advan fleva. Bad grip + noisy.
