dover Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Tires are destroyed on my S4, looking for the longest lasting tire for my 15' S4 in 255/35/19. Currently has Conti DWS 06's that made it barely 40k miles. Car is lowered. I don't race the car so I am looking for comfort over anything.

TTQ B4U Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 40k on those isn't bad. actually better than I have ever gotten. you really going to keep it more than 40k more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizin01 Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 I wouldn't expect most any tire in that size/style to last much longer on that vehicle/setup. I would stick with the DWS for the price/performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyc12340 Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 I have a set of barely used 255/35/19 winter tires if you need winter tires! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dover Posted October 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 40k on those isn't bad. actually better than I have ever gotten. you really going to keep it more than 40k more? Yeah, it is the ideal car for me currently and I have put so many miles on it in the last year that trade is not worth my time. I'll be keeping it till its paid off. I liked the tires for the performance, but the road noise was a bit higher than my stock setup. Again performance isn't a necessity for me since it is basically my kiddo hauler.

RyM3rC Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3 I've had the older DWS and AS/3 and they're both about as good as you can get for a high mileage enthusiast commuter all season. I remember the DWS having a little squishier sidewall, and the AS3 are SUPER noisy as they get worn and old. 40k is crazy mileage out of a sport-oriented all-season. sounds like a boring 40k, those things should have been rekt in half that mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 If you want to spend less than half the cost of Michelin AS/3's and get the same performance and mileage, check out BFGoodrich G-Force Comp 2 A/S's. I had them on the Camaro and they're fucking awesome for daily grinds. They stick in the Summer better than any other all-seasons I know of for the price and rain was no issue (the three days ever that I didn't check the forecast first). No road noise at all. They are noticeably squishier in turns than racecar tires, but that's a given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3NN3TT Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 I just put some AS-3s on my Cooper S. Discount tire had a bunch of stacking rebates on them, so they ended up the same price as the DWSs in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the fall really last year I ended up leading the pack down from Snowshoe in a near whiteout. Made me super happy I took the time to swap before the trip.

The big issue is that most of the euro cars run a super aggressive alignment for street use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big issue is that most of the euro cars run a super aggressive alignment for street use. You're absolutely right, and my car is lowered which destroys the inner part of the tire and makes them terribly loud. So bad so that I had to have the car checked by two shops thinking my wheel bearing died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Try out the Advan A005. Pretty sporty with good wear I use them on my Dodge for an all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwashmycar Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Yeah not at 400 treadwear.... Probably why they might be ok in snow though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second Gen Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 I have a set on the M Roadster and pretty sure i have 35k plus (But they are bologna slicks). Will be putting another set on in Feb/March or the replacements if they move to the Comp 3 AS's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 Pilot sport 4s But as stated, 40k miles is fantastic for those. I got about 15k miles out of the 21” tires on my Audi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
