Tires Continental or OEM Subaru

out of the two you posted i like Contis , usually quiet well wearing affordable tires , i find the Michelin tires eventually get hard and noisy, will last forever but who cares if they drive you nuts every day , just my opinion.

Continental Extreme Sport Contacts on one 450whp RWD car and Michelin PS4S on a 500whp AWD car. No complaints for either.

Last month, driving in the rain at night, and dropped a tire off the shoulder into a pit hole, and blew my front passenger tire completely out. Replaced them with Conti DWS06+, and couldn\u2019t be happier with the new tires.

Same. Went from Pirelli P7 All Season Plus to Continental Control Contact SRS+ and basically paid $900 for everything including installation.

Within a couple weeks I tossed the summers and had Discount Tire install Continental DWS 6+ tires. I haven’t looked back since. I have over 27k miles on them. Lots of tread left (rotate every 5k). Upper mid west roads.

Granted, I went from Yokohamas to Continentals, but the increases are huge.

I have ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus by Continental. They are quiet, smooth, and amazing in the rain. Really happy with them.

10x better than the continentals in snow.

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.

Every set of Contis and Michelins I have ever seen wear for absolute crap, lose all of their grip after a short amount of mileage, poorly riding, compromised in handling, and are LOUD to the point of distraction....Right up until they are a bare, poorly weathered carcass at less than 20k in mileage. They have never seen worth the price that they charge for them.
