    Question What tires are you using on your B8?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Trying to replace the sorry Pirelli P6 that came with my car. I am looking to replace with something better, that offers good quality ride and no or little noise. I am running Conti DSW Extreme on my C63 and I really like them. Let me know what you have and your experience.
    Thanks

    Hankook Ventus V12s. Pilot super sports are the best bang for your buck though.

    I replaced my OE Pirelli P6s with Conti DWS 06 Extremes. They are much quieter, smoother, and grip better in all conditions. The Contis are excellent if you want to stick with all seasons.

    Conti DWS06's here, just had them installed a few weeks ago, the Pirelli P6 4 seasons that were on the car when I bought it were done, its amazing what you can get used to and not notice how crappy something really is til you change to something else, they seem to be working out pretty well so far, handling is not bad, light snow and rain no problem.

    I'd give another solid vote to Conti DWS. Had them on my B8 in two different sizes and if I was still running one set of tires year round 10/10 I'd get them again.

    BF Goodrich G-Force T/A KDW.....I'll never buy again. Ever. Grip is out of this world. But they are louder than truck tires under 35mph.

    Michelin Alpins in the winter. (Now on my stock rims)

    I've been using Conti Pure Contacts on my stock wheels for the last 45k miles and they still have 40% tread... Excellent tire for the money. Better than my old P7. I'll keep the pure contacts in my basement for now

    Will do DWS 06 on the M590 wheels for spring/ summer/ fall

    I have been running a set of Firestone Firehawk wide oval indy 500 tires and love them. Not loud and have good grip even in the Florida downpours.

    I ran the DWS on my 'summer wheels' and Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4's for the winter wheels. Was planning to go to summer tires to replace the DWS, but sold the car before that happened.

    Honestly I haven't had any complaint with my p6's. I can't wait to get summers but for the 2 years no issues with the stock p6s

    Not my first choice, but they were brand new when I bought the car three months ago. No complaints. Low highway noise. Nice grip. Great in the wet. Sufficient in the snow. I miss having snow tires in the winter, but will ride on these until next winter.

    Only drawback is some flat-spotting when the car has been sitting overnight. Takes about a mile for the tires to "round out." Never experienced that before, but not an issue.

    While on the subject, worst tires I've used: BF Goodrich (any), Bridgestone Potenza G019 Grid (awful grip, cracking at 20K miles, useless by 25K miles)

    I've had Michelin Pilot Sport AS3, and couldn't stand them due to noise. Replaced them with 80% thread left with DWS and couldn't be happier. Not same performance for sure, but comfort and luxury feel are through the roof.
    I have Dunlop D3 for winter.

    Used to have Hankook V12 on my A6 and really liked them, but DWS takes the cake.

    Michellin Pilot A/S3's and no major complaints besides a slightly harsher sidewall. Great tires all around and even pretty decent in the snow. Cant say The road noise is really an issue and Im at about 10k on them so who knows how they'll be later.

    Had PSS's before these and they were awesome in both dry and the "wet" conditions SD got last year.

    Also had Contiextreme DWS's on my R32 and those were pretty comfy with decent grip.
