Tires NITTO or Continental

If you don't want to spend the money on Michelins, then Falken Azenis FK510 and Continental Extreme Contact Sport are affordable alternatives. They're also much better than the Nittos.

Continental DWS 06+. Good grip for when you want do drive your grounded to the ground Camry and also surprisingly good riding and quiet. Amazing in the wet and totally acceptable in the snow.

The stock tires suck. They last less than 20k miles on my Mazda, so I opted for the Continental DWS06+, which have been fantastic.

Others have recommended it the Conti Extreme Contact Sport (and Sport 2) are great tires for dry but one of the best wet tires as well. It out performs the Michelin in the Wet by a noticable amount with the current compounds

If you’re gonna be “cheap” and just run all seasons, I got no complaints with the Continental Extremecontact DWS 6

I'm currently running continental premium contact 5's on my C30. They do certainly grip well! My only minor gripe with them is that the sidewall seems a little stiff for the suspension

I've had my Ridge Grapplers for about 4 years. Mostly highway. My only complaint would be wet pavement traction is not as good as I would prefer. Dry pavement is as good as I need it. Best traction of any tire I've ever had in snow. Road noise is pretty damn low for an aggressive looking tire. The best thing about these tires that will make me get another set soon is that I currently have about 100,000 miles on them.

The OEM Dunlops and Falkens are absolutely rubbish and needs to be replaced to get a true sense of ride and handling of the mazda6. I replaced by Dunlops at around 18k miles with Conti DWS 06 and it completely transformed my car.

Very timely thread. I've been wondering what to put on the husband's car, Continental DWS 06+ or Michelin CrossClimate2.

I would not buy Conti Pure contact LS again, they long lasting, grip and performance looks good but they are too harsh for me ( 225/50/17 has 98V load index)
