Hello,

I am trying to find the best deal on tires since they are only last about 20k miles in my area of Virginia. I use it as a daily driver and occasionally shorter road trips. Is the Continental worth twice the price?

On the plus side, you could then claim to be the only person willing to risk trying super mega discount cheapo non NF rated tires on a Taycan. An ultra-rare Taycan "4A" no less, looking at your profile (which you subsequently corrected to 4S)

You have a car that was very expensive new, weighs a lot, handles aggressively, and fast acceleration.

While I run Michelin cross climate 2s, which are not NF0 rated, I don’t think I’d go the budget route and hope the sidewall is up to the task.

Budget tires generally provide budget grip.
I'd look at some other companies, but not cheap Chinese.
Losing grip can be VERY expensive

go to tirerack and find the same size manufactured by a reputable company (Firestone, Pirelli, Michelin); check the tire wear rating; get a higher wear rating (>300); all season tires seem to last longer for higher wear rating in that car; don't be cheap

Same here -- I don't care at all that Michelin hasn't bothered paying Porsche for NFO status on the CC2, since the tire performs well in objective tests. But those obscure brands ... the TyreReviews guy sometimes includes an absurdly cheap model in his tests and they always perform poorly.
