“My first all-season tires (Continental AllSeasonContact2) Hi everyone, I finally had my all-season tires installed: Continental AllSeasonContact2 235/60 R18 103T. Compared to the factory-equipped Hankook summer tires (in Italy you don’t get all-season ones…) I have to say they’re noticeably quieter. I tested them on the roads of the Dolomites between Belluno and Bolzano, and they performed excellently in rainy/sleety conditions. Let’s hope they last at least 2 years. Read more”

“Continental tyres condition after less than a year? Hello, I got these two Continental All Season Contact 2 front tyres fitted Nov 2025 (10 months ago), manufactured in January 2025 (0325) and done about 4-5k miles in them. I started seeing some cracking late this summer on the tread as if it’s deteriorating and falling apart. This is the same on both of them where only one side of the car is actually getting much more sunshine than the other. I don’t imagine this is normal? Especially from Continental, seeing as my other two tyres are budget tyres that are way older and have done tens of thousands of miles and are not at all damaged like this. I contacted Blackcircles because there’s apparently a lifetime warranty for the tyres but they came back to me saying the tyres need to be sent for an inspection that could last 10-12 weeks and I’d need to buy two new tyres from them first. Surely they can’t have the cheek to ask me to buy more tyres when I’m already dissatisfied with their products? This is very inconvenient and renders the so called warranty virtually unusable as it’s extremely impractical. Please can I have some advice? Is this condition of the tyres normal given the circumstances? Could it be that Blackcircles (and perhaps even Continental) were supplied knock off/fake tyres? Thank you”

“I use these on my F80 M3 competition with the 666M wheels for the winter. I had Continental DWS 06 Plus on my E90 M3. The PSAS4 have stiffer side wall than the DWS06 Plus, so the ride will feel more sporty if that's what you're after. PSAS4 also have slightly more dry pavement grip and tad more steering feel than the DWS. The DWS is a tad bit quieter and softer sidewall. Superior to the PSAS4 in light snow. Dry pavement grip is still amazing. I have 2 sets of 666m wheels for my F80 comp. One set outfitted with Pilot sport all season 4 and the other set outfitted with Pilot sport 4s.”

“I would just do Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 on your 22” wheel. This is one of the best all season tires for snow outside a true winter tire. To get better snow performance you need a winter tire and separate summer/all-season for warm weather.”

“Replaced tires with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, ride significantly improved My 2021 MYLR with 19" Gemini wheels ran over a screw in the tire sidewall and I had to replace the tire. I decided to replace all four tires since the tread was low anyway. I ended up replacing with the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. I was happy to find that the ride quality significantly improved after this. Just wanted to let folks know. Others have pointed out that there's a slight range efficiency hit and the tires don't reach all the way to the Gemini rims like the stock Continentals do. I find I don't care about these things and enjoy the ride quality improvement a lot. If I put the car in Chill mode now and drive others around, it's a much better ride experience for them on residential streets. The tires were a bit expensive, $1700 to replace all four including labor (in the SF Bay, a HCOL area) but I had to replace the tires anyway and the benefits were worth it to me.”
