Tires Pirelli or Continental

Michelin or Continental are my favorite brands for cars. I'm on my third set of Extreme Contact DWS. Average 50k a set. Good balance of grip and mileage.

If you do a lot of highway miles, get the P4's I've had these on a 13 civic and after 60k miles they had 7/32nd left on the tread when I traded the car in.

I've always run Michelin and love them. Needed new tires for a long trip and my dealer didn't have 4 of em so I went with Perelli. Saved about $500 and really liked the ride. On my second set of Perellis now and have no complaints.

Continental ECF. They're 200's but more endurance focused. Not a fast tire but can stay consistent through a whole HPDE session. Really good performance in the rain, somehow they move a bunch of water. Long lasting as well... many heat cycles.

I just got the Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3 today and from the little experience I have, I’m very happy with them. Very quiet compared to the OEM Yokohamas that came on the 18” wheels.

Another vote for the Pirelli AS Plus Scorpions. They compliment the CX9 very well. Great handling dry and wet. Good highway ride. Quiet and comfortable.

Fantastic all around tire. Quiet, handle dry and rain fantastically. Have about 15k on them with little wear.

Too bad you don't have 16s, then you could buy the Continental DWSs(205/50/16s on mine) for the ultimate upgrade in rainy day tire. I spent 45 minutes on Saturday chucking my car actively trying to get it to slip and slide in the rain on mountain road bends and it just wouldn't let go.

Eu am continental winter contact, mi se par ok

They're pretty bad... There is no reason I should be chirping in any gear in a straight line... these just are not good tires. Handling is solid but straight line or wet leaves a lot to be desired.
