I went from those same tires to Michelin PS4s and I'm very happy with them. I have no issues in the rain.
Owner reviews for tires
I run continentals DWS06+ on all my cars, and so do my friends and family. Can’t recommend them enough! Solid tire choice
They were both originally Sailun Inspire 215/55R17 touring all-season. They replace with with a Sailun Inspire 215/55R17 XL. The XL has a different load weight and a different PSI. From my research online, this could be caused by the tire speeds not being the same and the tires being mismatched. Does this seem possible to you? I could call the tire place and ask if they'd honor a replacement because they put a non-matching, non-compatible tire on the car... It's essentially new as I've only driven maybe 500 miles max on that tire.
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.
Tiguan 17” steelies, et38 6.5w. I might have went a little too nuts and ceramic coated them, metal valve stems, greased weights/stems for anti corrosion, ordered Transporter T4 Lug-covers from EU and put Nokian R5 Hakkapelittas on
I like Pirelli ice zero fr, they have the best grip, Bridgestone also fine
I got new Michelin's and it took 2 weeks to get better
I have been looking for replacements for the awful Pirellis (on 22s). I’m on my second set - and the rain we’ve have in New England would get the Rivian hydroplaning where I’d never had that issue with my old Lexus GX with Michelin’s.
Most go with Pirelli, Michelin , Falken where as Cooper is C grade tire.
