Tires Falken or Continental

Got mine at America's Tire for 800. Best tires I ever owned!

The Michelin Pilot Sports A/S2 are the best tires you can buy for these besides Pirelli. I just put Continental DWS06 tires on my 2016 6 and it was like driving a different car. So much smoother and more responsive.

Not on your list but the best all season is the continental dws.

Well balanced and smooth at any speed. Tires are in great shape with almost new thread depth.

On my Stormchasing truck, which ran into rain now and then, we used Falken Rocky Mountain ATS tires, which were the Discounttire exclusive name, now they are sold as the Wildpeak AT. I loved them on washed out ranch roads in Texas and mud/dirt roads in Colorado and when we were bombing down the highway they were pretty quiet, much quieter than the Duratracs I had on my old Liberty.

Just finished a canyon run on new Falken RT615K+ Auto-X/ street tires on OEM Austins. Cons are a harsher ride and low life-expectancy that comes with 200TW tires. Pro's are sharpened steering and tread noise that actually is not all that bad. And once they warm up they're absolutely tenacious, with more grip than one will ever need on the street and a progressive break-away at the limit.

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.

True dat. Contis ( ) + US spec ride height = GTI loses the armchair racer wars.

I run Conti DWSes on my A3 and I think they're abysmal with anything more than an inch of slush on the roads. More than that, once the temps get below 40 I can definitely sense them losing their grip. I haven't been overly thrilled with the Contis and don't think I'll buy them again.
