Default V2 tire options?

Looking for options to the terrific but expensive Mich PS2 tires that come stock on our cars. Based on my driving style the PS2s are overkill and am putting around 20Kmi/year on the car = a new set of PS2 tires every year.

I am considering the Continental DW, DWS and Nitto Invo offerings and have had a very good experience with the DWS tires on my V1. The DWs and Invos match up with the OEM tire sizes. The DWSs are good for the rear but the nearest match for the fronts are 245/40-19s and 275/35-19s ... which are both shorter than stock and am concerned with any affect to the ABS system.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

As long as all the tires are the same size your ABS shouldn't be affected.

Of the two tires you've mentioned, I'd probably go with the Nittos.
Every continental I've seen that's not in a showroom on a brand new car has looked worn. They may last a little longer than the PS2's though. Most I've seen get about 30k or less, however, that's on Land Rovers which are much heavier.

I picked up the Continental DW's and they are a great tire. Look good, quiet, balanced well (not much weight), and the grip is on par with the PS2's. Very nice setup.
