Switched to DH SuperSoft Kryptotal Front w/o cushcore. Great setup. Conti DH weighs same as Assegai EXO+. More damped, faster rolling, great grip.
Pros: more damped, faster rolling

Been running a Xynotal Enduro soft for my rear that's been awesome.
Pros: awesome
After having less than stellar results with Maxxis tires searching for fast rolling, longevity, & with a lot of grip for the loose over hard terrain I normally ride in central Texas, I recently switched to Continental Xynotal DH casing soft compound rear tire.
It's pretty amazing on the rear. Faster rolling than the Dissector DD 3C MaxxGrip it replaced, with more grip, and much faster rolling than the Assegai 3C MaxxTerra EXO+ my Ibis Ripmo AF came with front and rear.
Pros: faster rolling, more grip
Cons: less stellar results with Maxxis
I went with a high rolling resistance tire that I find works well in wet weather and mountain roads , Continental pure contact LS.
Pros: works well in wet weather
The continentals hands down. I’ve them and they performed incredibly. I have the Pilots on my Civic type r and they could be better
Pros: performed incredibly
Cons: could be better
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I’ve had the Michelins and the Conti’s on my Mazda 6. Not a RWD vehicle, but enough to get an idea. The Michelins are great tires, but after having the Conti’s as well, the Michelins are absolutely not worth the extra money. The Michelins were a *tad* bit more “sharp” when changing directions at high speed. Quick lane change type stuff. But really other than that, the Conti’s are just as good as the Michelins. And for me, they’re wearing better too.
Pros: wearing better
Cons: extra money
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
I got the continental extreme contact dws before the 06 and plus version. At the time, they were the best all season tire. You could get better dry traction and better sno/wet traction but not both. Since then they have only gotten better.
Pros: best all season tire
I have a set of Continental DWSs and they are fantastic. Excellent grip in all conditions including snow and ice. Insane for all weather tires. Plus they're quite on the highway.
Pros: excellent grip, quite
I have had the best luck w/ Michelin Pilot Sports or Super sports. I have had several sets of the Continental Sport Contacts on different cars including the Golf R and they seem to wear out early with noise and balance problems sooner than I would expect. I have never had a set last more than 20K miles before the tread was gone and/or they start having noise/balance issues. They are GREAT tires up until that point, but they don't last anywhere near their published treadlife rating.
Pros: great tires initially
Cons: wear out early, noise problems
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 32186 km
I bought Continental LX25’s. They felt unsure, unstable, kind of jittery right from day 1 at high speed. New replacement set feels slightly better but still not smooth as glass. The steering wheel doesn’t shake, but I feel through the seat and floor a sense of unsteadiness. Like the car is a bit jittery, where the Michelins felt smooth as glass. BUT - I also can’t believe these tires are so junky. They weren’t cheap tires. They feel great up to 50mph , ok from 50-65, and then above 70 it’s jittery.
Pros: great up to 50mph
Cons: unsure, unstable, jittery
Mileage: 50000 km
