ugh MPSS OR CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06. I love my conti's I still have the older version but when they go I'm going with the DWS as they're all season tires and have been good to me.

What are your priorities?

For me, comfort, low tire noise, long tire life and good day to day performance is what I'm after. I love my Primacy MXM4's by Michelin. 91W speed/load rating

75,000km warranty for the front, and half that for the rear (as we can't rotate tires due to the stagger setup).

I have a set of dedicated snows.

I swapped the OEM Continental's with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's last year and I have to say I think they're great. Basically 3 season sport tires with excellent wet performance and they kinda work in snow (I have dedicated winter tires but there's always a risk of snow in late fall and early spring around here).

I had those on my Audi (last car). Great tires - certainly a performance first sort of tire that's still pretty comfy/quiet. Not as quiet as the Primacy MXM4s I recommended, but the performance of the AS3s are better in the wet/dry than the tire I recommended

Again to the OP, it comes down to your priorities. You can't have it all!

Me too. I replaced rear tires with that type. I searched quite a bit and found that is super quiet tire. Quietness is always my first consideration.
