So I changed tires...
Just a quick note. My 2016 had 18" Conti Extremcontact2 (?). The fronts had been replaced before I bought it, the rears were down to approx. 20% so it was time. I bought a set of Michelin Pilot 4S through Tire Rack. I wanted to try the DWS06 but their stock for front and rear never seemed to be available at the same time. I had them drop shipped to my local Firestone. Strangely enough, that went seamlessly, the delivery and installation.
The Michelins are a vast improvement. They are quiet and are noticeably "softer". I say that because I don't rip around corners much, and the roads in Massachusetts seem intentionally horrific. I was caught in the rain yesterday and they were stable. No raised white letter option, though!

Great tires, I personally prefer 38psi all around with them. Picked up a nail in the sidewall a couple of months ago, but lucked out: 22 months into Tire Rack’s 24-month warranty, so I got $400 back for a new rear (price has gone up, so it didn’t cover it 100%), and the rears were in stock then (fronts were not).
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
The tech set mine to 38. I dropped them to 35. I've never filed a warranty claim on tires. At one time you would have needed a Philadelphia lawyer to collect, not anymore I guess.
I have new rims on the way and am and contemplating tires. I've got Michelin Pilot Sport and P4S (mixed because of a road hazard/availability problem) and was trying to decide if the Continental ExtremeContact was good enough that the 20% discount over the P4S was going to be worth it.
I know that @RickyJay52 likes is Contis. Given my driving these days the $400 difference could go somewhere into the budget. It's good to have choices. Any opinions from people who've used both?

I completely forgot The Rack includes the warranty! We just picked up a nail in the right rear and Discount said NOPE, too close to the sidewall. So I just swapped over to the winter wheels and RE980's. Figured I'd wait and see what new tires there might be for next summer in the spring. We paid $371 for the rears in March of 21. Now they're up to $454 but made of un-obaitainium, sold out for the season. Thought about trying the newish PSA/S4's
