I see you alrady pulled the trigger, but FWIW, I put new rollers on my BRZ 2 years ago and went with Conti Extreme Contact Sports. Then the fucking pandemic put the binders on my travel plans. I may be able to reset those in the next couple of months. \

Enough of my whining. The ECSs may dry out before I can wear them out but as all around warm weather tires I like 'em. That said, when they're used up I may well try the Indys. Michelins are IMHO over priced for what you get. I put a set of AS3+s on my wife's V6 Camry a couple years ago and I'll consider myself lucky to get 30k out of them.

They stuck really well at first, but as they wore the grip tapered off and the noise increased. So, no more Mich'ies for me. If you're looking for summers the ECSs are good. I'll consider the Indys next time around. All seasons? I'd go for Comp 2 AS+s.

Edit: Or maybe the new(ish) Conti EC DWS 06 Plus
