I have had the Contis and had no issues, overall good tire, lasted longer than OE and Hankook.

Continental DWS for comfort, quietness, and DURABILITY lol
I'm running them on IS250 daily.

DWS leaves a lot to be desired in terms of steering feel. otherwise a great tire.

Just got a set of Nitto NT555s for a little over $800 a few months ago. So far they've been great.

About to get a pair of Nitto Motivo for the rear.
The current Bridgestone Potenza rears I'm replacing have started giving me a bit fish tail in wet pavement and tread is about < 4/32 .
This will be a complete Nitto Motivo for all 4 tires by next weekend.

I have the Hankook Ventus S1 Noble's as well and they're a great tire for the money.

Continental Extreme Contact DWS or Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 Plus is good...

+1 on the Michelins. A bit noisy though. Paid $1000 for them. Great steering feel, great dry/wet traction.

I'm currently running BFgoodrich g-force sport comp-2's. Previously had DWS which were a lot louder, softer sidewall, didn't corner as well and braking was noticeably longer. I much prefer the BFG's and they're more comfortable over bumps and what not.

I had the DWS (Older version, not the new one that just came out this year) and it was good, especially in the rain, but the sidewall was a bit too soft IMO

I'm telling you buying name brand means nothing in the world of tires. unless it's Michelin, because that is a quality tire.ive been using ironman imove tires (235/35/35) I believe they are made by Dunlop and the are quiet, perform well and most importantly have amazing treadwear. 4 tires of those cost 372 with free shipping. seriously look into them

Been using Federal EVO 595s on my front wheels and I'm so surprised at this price-point that these things are lasting as long as they are at a 240 treadwear and grip as good as they do.
