I hear good things about the Conti's and Michelen but can't speak from personal experience. Just make sure you don't get GY Eagle F1's All Seasons. Painfully noisy, harsh ride, and wear too quickly. It's just an fyi

Continental ContiSportContact 3 (255/35ZR19)
Has anyone taken the Continental ContiSportContact 3 (255/35ZR19) to the track? They came as the OEM tire on my S4, seemed to grip good diving quickly into some freeway entrance loops, but haven't really tested them to the traction breaking point.

Do you still have the Dunlops? I will PM you. Thanks

I am running Michelin pilot sport all season plus in 255/35/19. I had the conti dws on there for about 10 k. Man what a pos tire the conti was. The Michelin is an awesome tire. I would recommend it to anyone. I have a 2010 S5

I went with the Kumho Ecsta 4X's and am extremely happy with them so far (about 200 miles). Dry weather is great, rain is great, still have yet to test on snow but this is a great, still very firm tire for an all season and under $200 a piece.
