The Michelin Pilot Sports A/S2 are the best tires you can buy for these besides Pirelli. I just put Continental DWS06 tires on my 2016 6 and it was like driving a different car. So much smoother and more responsive.

Pros: smoother and more responsive
Vehicle: Mazda 6

Firestone Tires

For performance tires, the best bang for buck is the Firehawk Indy 500. I have them on my Skyline and they transformed the feel. There's more grip, I'm more confident in it, and they didn't cost a ton of money. Plus they look awesome.

Pros: more grip, confident feel
Cons: cost a ton of money

ive commented a few times about these tires, theyre great. grippy enough for fun, compliant enough for daily drivability, and cheap enough that you can replace them at will. highly recommend.

Pros: grippy, compliant, cheap

Conti ExtremeContacts are noisy. I have them on my Mazda5. The tires are especially loud when they are cold and moving at low speed. They feel like good tires and seem to wear well, but the noise factor alone makes me want to not keep them for too long.

Pros: good feel, wear well
Cons: noisy, loud when cold
Vehicle: Mazda 5

I have never been a fan of Conti tires, especially anything with "ContiSport" in its name. They come OE on many German marques, and I can't for the life of me figure out WHY other than some smoking back room deal hammered out over loads of pharmaceuticals in the wee hours of the morning. My MK6 felt like a cement truck with its OE Contis. They would flat spot in what seemed like 120 seconds, noisy as all get out and lasted 1/3 of the claimed milage. Ive permanently deformed Contis on my old 05 E55 by just hitting a small chuck hole or bump. This is anecdotal evidence at best, but my money is on the tires being deformed, belt shift or what ever the excuse of the day is.

Cons: noisy, deformed easily, flat spot
