Goodyear RSA Police P245 55R 18 Tires

Sooo I'm beginning to look at replacing my tires, and while I'm OK with going with the same tire, it would be remiss of me not to seek advice on what might be close in quality & performance to the RSA's? So any advice on a tire that's close in performance and somewhat less expensive would be appreciated? Thanks

I'm wondering how these would compare?
Firestone Firehawk GT Pursuit Tire
Goodyear EAGLE ULTRA GRIP GW-3

And the winner is Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06, thanks troops

The ratings on TireRack are impressive I am actually shocked the ratings are so high. Great choice. I think those should be a decent tire.

I was as well, since I had not even heard about these tires till a few days ago when I contacted a colleague for some advice?

I'm excited to see the difference between these and the RSA's?, and the addition of the rebate kinda "sweetens" the deal.
(Continental is offering a $65 rebate/visa card for purchase after march 15th IIRC)

A little late to this one but I have been runng the DWS 06 on my 2004 Forester XT (alot of mods and tuned over 300 awhp) for 5 months and I love these tires. Albeit I am in NC and our winter was pretty mild, we did have severe rain and cooler temperatures. The tires were flawless! I actually believe they had better traction when it was wet out. Highly recomended. I would happily buy another set.

As a disclaimer I initially test drove a 535i with 18" rims and a 40 seies tire and was astounded at the traction, steering, ride comfort and braking. I purchased the tires in 225-50-18 for the Subaru and threw them through the paces. As previously stated they were quite impressive for an all season performance tire. Is it an F1 tire? No. Would I drive it aggresively gear round and feel safe? You bet your sweet azz I would.

Just my $0.02
