What do you have on or like?
Looking for a nice summer tire since I will have the factory twin spokes with icebears on for the winter.
If it matters a 245/45/18 size.
Something that will not have the wonderful rear end hop!!
Thanks everyone!!

Dunlop DZ101 - bought as a package w/ rims. Tires seem fine for the price point.
I have Bridgestone RE750 on the A4, (and like them a lot!), but they don't come in 245/45/18.
I too have Icebears for the winter - nice tire, could almost run it as an all-season.

So far I have tried 3 tires in that size,
The conti extreme contacts, the Dunlop DZ101 Direzas, and now I have the Dunlop Sport Maxx.
of all these, the conti was the best tire. the Direzas wore fast and the sport maxx is noisy. Conti's were more expensive, but were probably worth it.

Thank you. Good info. Reading all of the reviews but taking them with
a grain of salt.
Hard to take an opinion from a honda accord owner talking about how great a tire grips =)

Had Conti Extreme Contacts, Now Dunlop Sport Maxx
Extremely please with the all season Conti Extreme Contact and got 25K miles with 4/32" tread left. Currently running the Dunlop Sport Maxx due to the great deal at TireRack plus $100 rebate. Pleased so far with 5K miles.
