I'm interested to hear back on your experience. I was choosing between the super sports and the new a/s 3+. The super sports were cheaper, but in the end I was using the VW goodwill card so I figured I would get a tire that lasted a bit longer.Yeah, srry I kinda noobed out.
I ended up ordering a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports, since we're a day or so from months of summer weather. I will report back with my impressions.
I put of set of these on my 2011 JSW in March of last year and so far, they have been good tires. The original set of Bridgestone Turanza tires were pretty much shot @ 44K miles and cracks were developing between the tread grooves.Went with Pirelli Cintauro P7's. So far, they've got about 15K miles on them and are great. Quiet, no measurable effect on fuel economy, no wear issues.
I chose the Pure Contact Ecoplus as well. The Goodwill credit card made it a sweet deal (about $100 for set of 4 mounted). I decided to get slightly taller tires to drop the revs a bit, so went with 205/60R 16sWe ended up buying some Continental PureContact Eco 225/45/17 tires for the car a few months back. I've had them on for maybe a month now. I have been out in this tropical storm Hermine a few times and LOVE the wet traction. To me they are just as good as the original Michelin MXM4's that came on the car. They are so much better with wet traction, compared to our second set of tires, Pirelli P7's. I did not care for those tires whatsoever, but we did get about 58k miles on them, compared to 53k on the Michelins.
I wanted to get Michelin Premier A/S tires, but they were on sale during the Labor Day sale on Discount Tire, so I opted with these since they came out much cheaper.
I only have about 1.5k miles on them, but so far they have been wonderful to us. Wet traction grip was a big thing to me, since it rains often. I stepped on it about 3/4 of the accelerator and the car did not spin at all, while I was turning. With the P7's I would have been spun out and then been fish tailing. Hopefully I can get 50k miles out of them.... if VW doesn't have a horrible fix for our 2010, so we can keep it instead of sale it. We'll see though.
Anyone have any experience with these Goodyear Eagle RS-As?

Great price.
Be sure to look into the SureContacts next time you're ready to buy. They are a step up (newer design/tech) from the DWS, you won't be disappointed. [emoji41]This is an easy one - of the 7 TDIs here, 5 use Continental ExtremeContact DWS06. I couldn't be happier with the ride quality, especially on a wet road. Not super quiet, but not as loud as some other tires (in particular, these crappy Yokohama YK580s I got for free with a set of Porto rims I bought for $200).
Did they just come out, and are they also W rated tires? I also confess, thanks to having some many vehicles, that I pick up a lot of my tires from bestusedtires.com (obviously using my own discernment of what to pick up, to save money). Been using using them for about two years with no problems.Be sure to look into the SureContacts next time you're ready to buy.

I think they are quieter (from what I remember) than the DSW as that was my only memorable complaint with those when I had them probably 4/5yr ago. I had replaced some Conti-Pro Contacts with them. The SureContact's ride, drive and wear great, they look good too.Did they just come out, and are they also W rated tires?

EDIT - googled them. Bestusedtires.com has 2 as of this post, but Conti's website says they're exclusive to 3 retailers, of whom none are within a 50 mile radius of me. The's one thing I like about the ExtremeContact DWS06 - they're a lot easier to come by.
How different are ride characteristics with the SureContact RX?
