So I'm currently on Michelin Lattitude's and love them. Never realized they were all seasons as they look like Pilots for the summer. Great tire and I had no regrets.

Wondering if I should just stay with them or is there another sumer tire that would provide more fun in the twisties. Yes, I throw this thing around the turns.

Lets hear your opinions for summer rubber.

I have the Continentals on my tuned S and I love them. Im a Michelin person run em on all my cars and im a fast driver but the Continentals have never given me reason to doubt them in any weather and any speed (137mph) once on a very rainy NJ day around lunch time 3 cars lost control within a 2 mile stretch all on the grass field of the center highway. I hit my brakes HARD at 85mph and scaring my buddy because it was near slam and the truck to the penny stopped with confidence. Today I am probably at 50-65% tread

ADVAN Sport tires /35R21 107Y XL ADVAN Sport tires. Had these on my turbo handled insanely well as I to like to have fun with mine =).

I had the Yoko Advan Sports also and I liked them - surprisingly quiet and smooth. When they wore out at about 18k miles I decided to try the Latitudes and I'm happy with these now too.

The best thing about the Contis is the tread warranty - 50k. Way better than the competition.

I just replaced the factory Michelin Latitudes with Continentals DWS 06 ( 295/35/21, I have Porsche classic wheels on my 958 GTS)

Early impressions are as follows:

- Straight line ride quality, on B roads and at under 55 MPH, the tire has slightly harder ride quality than Michelin (and I mean just by 3%-5%)

- Hard corners the side wall seems a tad bit softer

- Road noise at Hwy speeds is about the same, on concrete-ish roads its slightly louder than the Michelins and on blacktop roads its as quiet as the Michelin

The Michelins only lasted 17K miles and should have been replaced 1000 miles ago. Hoping to make these last a little longer

No regrets so far

Thanks guys, Keep em coming.

I'm leaning towards the new Yokohamas.

got about 8k on a set of Latitude 3 summer tires and they seem to be fine .... actually worked quite well when I had a chance to run around VIR in October .......

I've got 295/35-21 Pirelli Rosso's on my GTS. I honestly can't complain. They're quiet, been excellent in the rain and wearing very well.

Most of my drive is on the highway but I can throw in a serious exit ramp if needed and the back roads are fun. I have noticed that they slip a bit in this cold weather but hey, they are a summer tire....

As my Michelin Lattitudes are nearing the end of their life I have been wondering on this as well. My 2015 just has the base 19" wheels on it and believe the Latitude Tour HPs which have lasted about 29k miles but seem to be drying out and probably replace before down to the feelers. Half tempted to just buy another set, since not really any complaints, been a little tempted by the Latitude Sport 3 but looks like it should not last near as many miles and just going off Michelins own ranking system sounds like I might not notice any major improvements in ride/handling/braking either.

I'm running two sets: OEM summers on OEM 21" and for the mild Cincy winter: all seasons (Michelin Premier LTX) on 20" aftermarket rims. Big difference in the handling. As you'd suspect, the all seasons are muuuuuch better in the snow and even on the cold dry pavement. OEM summers would have been better in today's 50 degree weather. No opinion on these other tires but here are relative prices at different shops around Cincy:

Got that? No, apparently a spreadsheet doesn't translate well to RennList. We'll try a photo:

I paid $293 per tire (plus mount) at local discount tire for Conti DWS 06 (295 35 21) just 1 weeks ago after some negotiation.

Brought my own non-marring 19mm Socket (Amazon) and Tq wrench. Guy took his time and took very good car of my wheels
