Q for Luke: Tires C230 Coupe 16" Rims
What is you best take for an UHPAS tire for this car/rim size? I have run Conti Extreme Contacts and been OK with them, but the traction degrades over time (especially dry on rear wheels under acceleration). Does the Bridgestone RE960AS outclass the Conti's from your experience? My priorities are wet traction, dry traction, ride quality, tread life. I get snow just often enough to be concerned about not having all-season tires, but if there is enough performance benefit to running a summer tire, I have other ways to get around in the occasional snow.
Thanks for your perspective.
