It depends on what you want. I wanted a tire that would perform reasonably, be less harsh than OEM, be fairly quiet, and work year around in Michigan. I installed Continental Extreme Contact DWS about 2 months ago. There are an Ultra High Performance all season developed for drivers of sports cars. They have softer side walls that soak up the bumps much better than the OEM tire and they are much quieter. They are the top rated performance all season tire at Tirerack.com. They did a test in Sweden with several other brands. Check out their review. I instruct for HDPE schools and they are a favorite among Porsche and BMW owners. They have a 540 tire wear rating so they will last more than twice as long as the OEM tire. I live in Michigan so I was look for a tire that I can use in the snow. They don't turn in quite as fast as the OEM but are still very respectable. I would recommend them to any EVO owner for DD. I have another set of wheels and R compound tires for track days. I have not had a chance to drive them in snow yet but they are supposed to be ok..
