2016 F-type Basic 340 HP. Need an all season UHP Tire recommendation.

 

I'm very impressed by the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06. Have these on our Range Rover Sport (year round) and one of the MINIs (winter only). Tried the Michelin A/S 3 before. The A/S 3 were brilliant for the first 10K miles, then slowly began to get noisy and loose grip after that.

Here is the All Season UHP category customer ratings from Tire Rack: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/surve...jsp?type=UHPAS

 

+1

Actually, +3 as I have those fabulous tires on 3 of my 4 cars. Indeed, I love them so much that I keep them on all year-round (in spite of having my OEM's stored in my garage, on their original OEM wheels) and that includes driving throughout the winter.

So...they get my resounding endorsement (and, no, I don't work for Continental Tire).

 

Interesting as I was just looking at the Volvo forum getting ready to replace my wife's V60 T6 RD tires and they hate the Conti's and love the Michelin PS A/S 3+.
I think this is like asking whether you like a Ford or Chevy pickup, too much brand loyalty. With tires people agree that run flats are worse than any other option and A/S tires are better in winter than Summer performance tires, but worse than Winter tires. Other than that, I have not observed that tire recommendations are worth very much.

Certainly some element of brand loyalty can be at play, but there is a reality that some tires simply suck on SOME vehicles while shining on other vehicles.

Sometimes it is simply different expectations between drivers of different types of vehicles...old example, but I know a few who rode with me in an NA and made a comment about the 'noise' from the Azenis. For me, the tradeoff was the 'stickiness' those tires offered me. And, at the time and at less than $60 a corner, it was well worth putting up with a 'noisy' tire that might not make it 10K miles.

 

As others have mentioned...the Michelin AS3 is the way to go!

 

Conti DWS06's are great!

 

I'd consider Nitto, they have some performance all-seasons that are well-rated.

Can't go wrong with Continental DSW.
