Tires Continental or SUNNY

Continental DWS06+ is my choice after a lot of research.

This is on a Performance where I like traction. It is quiet and efficient.

I replaced the original Continental Pro Contact tires with somewhat cheaper and longer tread wear rated (70k mile) Continental Pure Contact.

I put a set of these on mine (19”) about two months ago now. They’re doing well. My efficiency doesn’t seem to have been impacted much, they’re not really any louder than the OEM Continentals. They’re good in the rain, but they do perhaps have slightly less dry grip due to likely being a harder compound. Overall, I’ve been very happy with them.

Top of the bracket is the Pilot Sport 4S from Michelin or the Extreme Contact Sport from Continental which are the best performance without getting into track tires plus they have treadwear warrenty, but that comes at a much steeper cost.

I have had great success with the Continental PureContact LS sized 245/45/18. Cheaper than the OEM Michelin and overall better.

Continental extreme contact dws6 is the way.

I second the Conti Extremecontacts. I’ve tested many different tires while working as a mechanic, and conti’s have been holding up across different driver types better than anything else in its price range.

I've put DWS06 on my past three vehicles from my daily, to a beater, and now my Z. Best all season performance tire you can get if being able to drive under 40° while having summer performance in the warmer months is what you're looking for. The tread wear is way better than some of the stickier tires out there too and I've found on a stock Z, these tires do hold their own. Can't praise them enough and definitely worth every penny extra.

Recently replaced my worn out 18 inch Primaxys (36000 miles) with the Continental DWS06s. It looks like a 5-10% efficiency drop versus the stock tires. I think they are a little quieter on the highway though. Bumps do have a reverb sound the stocks didn't have.

I replaced them with more expensive Conti TS810 RFT. *Big mistake*. They ride like a rock, I expected more from updated run-flat tires.
