whats the weight and hp of your car?

I’ve ran both in a racing series, and I’d say they are pretty good! They are equal in all ways except the Continental is the slightest bit better in wet conditions.

I’d say it’s worth it.

>>28825561
I just buy the touring tire for daily road use. It's about 80% of the way there with none of the drawbacks.

>>28825561
i think DWS06+ has proven to be absolutely fine, especially if the most you are doing is spirited street driving
that said, the difference between them and PS4s's for my car is ~$150 for a set, so I've just gone with the michelins for the last two sets I've put on
I think if it was more than probably 300 bucks I would go with the conti's

>>28825578
which one was quieter?

conti's and bridgestone are. I feel less and less that michelins are.

>>28825587
Not certain, my car had a loud exhaust.

>>28825561
They are not equivalent tires. The PS4 equivalent is the SportContact 7; the Extreme Contact’s equivalent is the Cup

>>28825561
Continental is currently slightly better imo but yes they are 100% worth it.
>Cross Climate
Best all season of all time for wifes
>PS4S
Very good but a bit scrubby when hot on track imo on my car
>PSAS4
Basically a PS4S that won’t fail if you expose it to snow and cold. It’s equal to a the PS4S below 60mph so it’s actually really good on most tracks even if you must. On a heavy car like a nu-M3 or RS5 it’s very good in snow with forward traction but braking isn’t close to a winter contact.

>Exteme contact summer
I think it’s better than PS4S because it holds up better in the heat for longer but I don’t think it’s better in ideal conditions or street conditions.

Extreme contact all season
I’ve had it but it was near end of life so I can only say it was good in winter and summer. I didn’t track it

>>28825561
I've driven both on track and Autocross.
In wet and dry conditions.
Also on street cars.
Either tire will not disappoint you.

I think the 4S have a slight advantage in wear rates but not by alot.

>>28825561
Probably more like 65% but for like a quarter of the price

>>28825739
A garbage all season tire
Ok anon,

>>28825754
The difference in price is $110 a set on my Lexus.
$27 a tire.
Not enough to sway my decision.

>>28825739
Goodyear, pirelli, kumho all copied the crossclimate 2 kek
Bridgestone didn't with their weatherpeak and it's not as good

>>28825594
hmm, which one was more comfortable?

>>28825581
sorry anon, which one is that

>>28825794
OP is asking about the tires in his pic compared to the cheap dogshit, not comparing the high end ones

yes, sort of. mid range name brand tires are like 90% as good as the top of the line, but chinky tires are garbage

>>28826921
You get 75% of the way there with China tires.
For whatever reason chinks can't into Tires

>>28827175
So exactly what I first said?

I've got dws06+ they're fine, more traction than the car can break generally ('19 WRX base) but God they suck dick in the snow.

>>28827180
Sure, whatever

>>28825561
>~$200 per tire, less with rebate
>huge premium
huh?

>>28827175
Imagine going anywhere but only getting 3/4 of the way

depends on what you'll be doing with them. they're both overkill, especially the PS4S, for the street. get a cheaper and shittier tire and have more fun.

>crossclimate 2
I have that and it's great for snow and rain but not so great for mud and dirt. Can't win everything. But for an all season what would one expect.

ND2 with 225, r18 with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
super happy how they perform on track, wet, cold.
want R16 TE37 but nobody makes good all round high performance summer tire in 16".
new TE37 in 17" is just not the same.

>>28827349
Yeah me personally I just do street hooning or at worse I break the speed limit on a highway, I don't track. I don't see a single reason to spend money on high end tires

>>28829241
i did and regret it. car was much more fun to drive on worse tires.
