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.
The Continental ExtremeContact DWS I have on the car now, are pretty much worn out after about about 45,000 miles.
There's a vendor on the west coast that sells a couple of Continental tires, but I can't find the link. I didn't get them because, one, they were about $140 each, and two, according to owner reports on the Tire Rack, they're not that good a tire.
