Instead of the Continental PureContact, I was considering Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 (which my other friend recommended to me first). Seems to have a little bit better performance overall...

Well, of the choices you put in the poll, I had to go with the P7. I believe there's a P7 tire fairly well liked by members here, as is the Continental ExremeContact DWS06. I have the previous generation of DWS on a different car and loved it -- quiet, razor sharp handling, and grippy. The P7's get similar reviews, and there are many lovers of Michelin Pilot Sports.

I just put the Yokohama Advan Sport A/S or my F-sport about 2 weeks ago. So far so good. Not as stiff as the Bridgestone RE050, but the sidewalls are plenty stiff even for an A/S tire. I'm hoping to get about 25K on the rear tires since the front and rears are staggered, I only got about 18K our of the Bridgestone RE050. I needed the A/S tire since we go to the Lake Tahoe during the winter and also needed a longer lasting tire.

<br /><br />I have Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 on my '15 and just love them. Great in dry and rain. We don't have heavy winters here, but they are very good in freezing slippery conditions.<br /><br />Doug<br />

Voted and recommend the Pirelli P7's - great overall tire especially if you're looking for a good balance between ride quality and handling. Its pricey but its worth it.

I had the Ventus S1 noble2 on a different car and they were great. They had great traction and hydro-planning was not an issue anymore. If this is an all-year tire it does have poor tread life and is absolutely horrible in the snow (at least on a FWD car). I went about 30k miles on them before they had to be replaced. my vote is a NO for that tire at least.

It's time to get new threads I am debating whether to go with Dunlop signature hp or Continental eco plus. I am a bit hesitant due to tire rack not negotiating and charging 61.00 to ship 4 tires to my house? I do see Pepboys online have 18 in tires in stock local thoughts or any experience in dealing with them thanks.

Switched to P7's and couldn't be happier. Extremely quiet, very good test scores, and huge tread life. Worth every penny.

Tire rack gives free road hazard warranty which might come in handy in case of any problems. Plus there prices are reasonable.
