I'm getting ready to order my summer tires and wanted to see what everyone in running and how they like them. I'm leaning towards the Continental ExtremeContact Sport or PZero Nero GT's. Does anyone have experience with either?

I went with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Happy with those.
No experience with the Continental or Pirelli, but those are great brands too.

Every set of Michelins I've had started showing dry rot in under 3 years, cant get myself to justify the price with such a short lifespan. They get the best reviews though, no doubt about that.

Christ, were you driving them super hard?!?!

Just checked the wear ratings are 340, those tires should last 25-30k miles easily.

I did the GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 ASYMMETRIC ALL-SEASONs

I firmly stand by All-Seasons are no seasons, a combo of Winter and Summer tires are far better than any All-Season tire.

I like my Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's as well. super sticky in rain or shine, car holds to the ground very well.

That is obvious but it would be a pain for me to switch constantly in places like Oklahoma where the weather is bipolar.

Thats why i like the PS4's. Here in scottsdale, it snowed last week. This week, its 80 degrees and sunny.

I run my winters from thanksgiving until mid/late March. If I get snow in April with the summer tires I'd just not drive that day. NJ weather can be pretty crazy too but snow doesn't typically sneak up on us thankfully.

It's been 4 years and 30,000km's and the PS4S tyres have worn up to the wear mark on the back tyres.

Any recommendations for a replacement? It's summer all year here. We have hot summer and less hot summer.

I went with the PS4S because I found the OEM RE050A's too stiff and the PS4S was definitely softer. I would consider going softer again if there was a good option.

For PS4S again it will be 2 x $564 for 235/40R19 and 2 x $610 for 265/35R19 = $2348 AUD

or, if I try the new PS5 it is 2 x $374 for 245/40R19 and 2 x 472 for 275/35R19 = $1692 AUD

The PS5's are way cheaper and have a tread wear of 340 vs the 300.

I have also heard good things about the Falken FK510

CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 PLUS is my next tire, reviews are off the charts for an all-season and I'm being told I'll finally draw back my all seasons are no seasons philosophy.

I'm running the Continental PureContact LS on my '15 AWD. They were all I could find on short notice at the time.
I wanted the Extremes at the time but none to be found at the time. I have about 12K on them now, they are really
good tires for rain or dry for me. My son has the Extremes on his IS and they're a great tire as well. i know this is an old thread
but what the hell, tire talk is always good.

I highly recommend these. They were excellent on my IS-F
