I know it wasn’t included in the ask, but the Continental LX25 are a fantastic tire as well. We live in Northeast PA and these have been great all around. I’ve used Continentals for almost 20 years and haven’t been disappointed yet.

Pros: great all around

Went with the Altimax RT45 with my original wheels. Only 55 miles so far, but I’m pretty happy with them. They're not as responsive as my old Bridgestone RE950s, but handle reasonably well and are quieter and smoother.

Pros: quieter, smoother
Cons: less responsive
Mileage: 55 km

I swapped out at 36k to Continental EXtremeContact DWS06 (50,000 mile warranty). They were $1000 installed at my tire place. It looked like the stock Primacy's would have been $200-300 more. The Continentals are less efficient (\~5% or so), but the extra money I will spend on electricity over the life of the tire doesn't make up the cost difference. Currently have about 10k miles on the new tires. Can't tell any real difference in noise or ride comfort level.

Pros: no difference noise, ride comfort
Cons: less efficient
Mileage: 10000 km

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
