Tires Continental or Kumho

I would put that money into a good set of carbon aero bars, a good aero helmet, or some really nice tubeless tires gp5000, etc.

205/50-17 Continental WinterContact Si - awesome performance in the winter thus far. Couldn’t be happier...

I got a set of continental snows a couple years ago that gave been amazing.

Go with the Kumhos from Tire Rack. I had really good experience with them

Continental DWS06 are hands down my favorite all season tire. I have lived in PA, FL and NC and it's always my go to choice for an all season tire. Super quiet.. last forever and grippy.. what else can you ask for?

M3 Non Snow: BFGoodrich gForce Comp 2...M3 Snow: Continental WinterContact Si (very, very happy with these over years of being a Blizzak driver)...Wagon Non Snow: Continental ExtremeContact DWS (very happy so far)

The DWS06 has been a phenomenal all season tire for me...These Contis have proven well worth it, as even with a FWD car, I'm able to drive on snow with minimal slippage.

I've used Sumitomo and Kumhos performance summer tires with success - although the Kumho PA31's I put on the Fit have worn super fast and are now quite loud.

i had the kumho asx in 18" first on my rabbit then transferred to my gti. with them being new on the rabbit, they were great in the dry and wet. after about 18k miles and transferred to the gti, they were great in the dry and wet until tuned. stage 1 was fine but with stage 2 the dry grip was just not there. right when you need traction the most from 4.5k to 6k in second gear the tires just spun. dry traction grip was improved after switching back to the goodyear eagle of the same size. also the road noise got loud as hell.

Stock Contis are history at 30K The roaring inside the cabin due to cupping has become unbearable, so I wear foam earplugs and my shooting muffs over them.
