More Tire options...

[bozack]

Looking for new tires since I got a damn nail and need to replace one. thoughts anyone on the below?

All other tires are at 7/32 or 6/32 so could just replace 1 but thinking about perhaps doing all 4 (don't really want to at this current time though as money is flying out the door everywhere else it seems).
I currently am running DWS06+ on 20s that came on it but I am also in Central Texas so snow isn't a rating that's a priority.

Anyone tried the Discount tire specific Conti Control Contact Sport SRS+??
or Yokohama ADVAN Sport A/S+ ???
or the DWS06+ good enough to keep running?


Some say the DWS06+ and Sport SRS+ are the exact same but Discount Tire is trying to say they are more sport than the DWS06+.

Micheline Pilot Sport AS4 could be an option based upon pricing and Costco's rebate going on but damn they are still expensive.

As long as the nail did not go thru the sidewall or very near the edge, it should be repairable. I have the Yoko Advan A/S and I like them. Had the Michelin A/S3 which only lasted under 18k miles and I don't drive my car hard at all. Great tire though. The Yoko has less road noise and Im very happy with them. Just depends on your driving. Ive had the Yokos for 2k miles so far.
You can go to the Discountdirect.com which will show you sale pricing and local stores will meet the price. In fact go to any online store, find your lowest price and Discount will meet it. They will also meet the $150 off Costco pricing.

@BPD - yeah sidewall is trashed. The more I read on those Yoko Advan they seem like a good possible option. I had the same experience before with Michelins. Awesome tires but for the price they don't seem to go past 20kish which is nuts.

@GK1 for never hearing of those tires they have some pretty great reviews on them

Why not just buy one dws06+ from tirerack? They'll shave it down to 7/32 tread for $20-$30 too for you so that it matches for quattro. You just gotta contact somewhere there over chat/phone.

@Tagx. Totally didn't realize Tirerack was still shaving tires so went that direction thanks!

Michelin AS4 or 4plus.
Amazing grip. But yes, they do ride a little harder. Great in northeast winter weather (let's be honest they plow well!) and heat of summer.
