I had Continental Extreme Contact Sports on previously and I also really liked those, and they were a good bit cheaper considering the size we gotta use.
The Hankook tyres also came on my car. Didn’t know much about them so did some research. They invariably get great reviews.
Continental Extreme Contact Force looks to be an awesome RS4 alternative. I haven't had a chance to try them yet but by all accounts and reviews they're a little quicker than the RS4 with the same kind of long life and resistance to overheating.
Order directly from hankook Motorsports. They last a hella long time. I run them as my normal tire on two cars. On the dedicated track car I get about 25 hours / 80-100 heat cycles before they brick.
They last a long ass time, you can overheat them but they don't get really greasy. They just kind of fall off a little and stay there until you treat them nicer.
I've been using Continental GP5000's with latex tubes for several years and have had great service out of them. I generally get about 5,000 miles out of a set and might get a puncture every 2,500 miles or so.
I run GP5000 with latex inner. Replaced Michelin Pro 4 Endurance and standard tubes. I find the GP5000 to be super grippy, i run 28c front and back at 80 psi
My wife and I put about 5k miles a year (each) on GP 5000s with latex tubes, and absolutely love them. That combination is fast, comfortable, and very durable on our carbon rims. Last year we had 2 flats total between us, so to us, not worth the hassle of going tubeless. The GP5000s also last the full 5k miles before needing replacement. Very highly recommended!!
Not too sure if the continental are especially weak on the sidewalls, but I blistered 2 tires in a single summer + a leak on a third one. I'm a "careful" driver when it comes to preserving the integrity of my car lol. Montreal, Canada, is known for its ****ty road quality... So yeah, these tires are super easy to damage!
My 2019 GLI came with the Hankook Kinergy GT. On paper it is considered a premium touring tire, but it is not very good. It is mostly dry where I live, but those things break loose at the slightest provocation - cornering, accelerating, etc. I don't know what they are like in the wet; from what I have read, they are not very good.
