Tires Pirelli or Continental

Continental Viking Contact 7 on VW wheels. They are great snow tires, quiet on dry roads but very effective on ice and snow.

For the Pacific NW USA, where it rains a lot, I keep coming back to Continental CrossContacts. Tire Rack ranked them highly for rain (my #1 priority) and very high just about every other category.

The Continental is the best there all round and would be my choice.

I am overly happy with the Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3 we got for our Forester.

Its a completely different car, especially when we upsized to 225/60-18.

For stock suspension and even lowered 15mm on coilovers, I have really enjoyed my DWS06+ 235/45/18’s. They ride great, handle better than any all season tire I’ve ever run, and have smashed some serious potholes on the rare occasion that I can’t avoid them.

Ive found tires on amazon for pretty cheap, even compared to tirerack, etc. And decent brands like pirelli and kumoto

Continental makes great tires. My favorite tires are Continental DWS 06+. I've ran them on 3 cars and will continue doing so indefinitely.

For what it's worth the factory tires on my cbr300 were shockingly shit. When warm, however, is like your bike being on a railroad track. I swear they are vacuum powered or something, best upgrade in feel/confidence in the world.

I've had these for four summer seasons on my GSW (17" version) and about 15k miles total. Very grippy. They were great until this past summer, and generally quiet, but one developed a defect whereby it's making a loud rhythmic thumping noise at low speed.

They are awful in snow. So I only run them for 6 months, and Continental Viking Contact 7 winter tires for the other 6 months. 8000 miles on each and only a little wear.
