Continental DWS 06+ is what I am currently running for a DD. I am happy with them and have had them for almost a year in Central Ohio.

Is this your everyday car? If you use it to get to work, or wherever you have to be, then get a good performing tire that won't $h1t the bed in the rain in ohio.

Yep. Have had them for a couple of days and really like them so far.

How long lasting? My tires never ever have lasted even close to mileage rating. Your driving style will dictate how long alot of things last. If you have some money get a set of Continental DW or maybe they only do dws now or Michelin Pilot sports. The 2 best upgrades for any car are really good brake pads and good tires. What makes a tire good? The performance characteristics for the intended use. All seasons are not the best 1/4 mile car tires. Slicks are not good in the rain. It isn't brain surgery here

DWS 06 plus is the current/latest version.

Been a while since I had Contis. My F150 with Michelins has been my daily for years now.

You never stated whether you are looking for all-season tires. For summer tires, I really like my Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's.

I’m currently running Michelin Pilot Sport 4 A/S which are a bit more expensive but they can cut 3.8 0-60 with them Aired down a bit on the street. Also they’re rated for like 50000m

I got more than 50k out of a set of the stock Michelin Primacy tires. I would buy them again, but they just stopped making them. Probably will do the Pilot Sport 4 A/S.
