I have a set of the new Continental extremecontact sport ready to throw on very soon. These tires were designed to compete with the new Michelin summer tires. Tirerack did a performance test on the top summer tires and they performed just under the new Michelin PS4S but for way cheaper.
Most people conclude that Grand Prix are the best mix of puncture resistance, weight, grip and speed to sort of be the industry standard.
I can recommend continental, Pirelli or Dunlop. They all are pretty expensive but it's worth it, considering how much better they drive on e.g. a wet road or something. have a look at tests, continental is usually #1 or #2, that says pretty much about their quality. I personally only buy Conti and have never been disappointed, my dad has kumho on his car and they are so slippery it's scary.
Have you looked into the Continental ExtremeContact DWS? Discount Tire Direct's eBay account has a sale right now $100 off of $400 with free shipping.
I had my Conti DWS tires installed today. I’ve had them on two previous cars and they’re my pretty phenomenal across a broad range of conditions.
I ran the Continental Extreme DWS on my last M3 year round here in Colorado. They did really well in the summer mountain drives and served me just fine in the snow.
I have them on the MK5 GTI my son drives and will be swapping them onto my 2017 R. Love them for an all around tire.
The DWS' are awesome in the wet. But we had nearly no snow last winter so I can't tell you much about that, but I have high hopes.
Switched out my OEM Conti’s for the DWS 06’s last winter for ski season (So Cal). I have my OEM’s back on for now but once they are worn out I will put the DWS’s back on and never look back.
I rotate tires every 5k to keep even wear and am no longer a fan of Toyos ... Anyway, I'm hard on my car (ie: drive it like you stole it) and even with a track day under my belt, I'm doing better than 8-10k miles on my set of Contis although don't get more than 2 seasons out of summers (approx. 15k miles).
