The OEM Dunlops and Falkens are absolutely rubbish and needs to be replaced to get a true sense of ride and handling of the mazda6. I replaced by Dunlops at around 18k miles with Conti DWS 06 and it completely transformed my car.
I’ve driven an AWD crossover with Continental True Contacts in deep heavy snow without issue.
Continental makes some of the best product in the industry and is very high quality
Continental is the far superior tire if the cotinental is also a winter tire. The studded Westlake may out perform the conti on glare ice and hard packed snow for the first season, maybe 2, but the continental will last longer and out perform the Westlake in just about every other way.
I run the Contis ECS and love them.
I had Continental Extreme Contact Sports on my STI, they were great.
I just got the new Continental Extremecontact Sport 02 in September. I’m super happy with them, on par with PS4s in my opinion (and a bit cheaper)
I had one. No problems, dry or wet, and it lasted for 3000 miles, pretty much exactly, without a single cut in it, which is very impressive for city riding. It died of being worn down to the threads in one patch. I would thoroughly recommend these tyres.
Normal GP5000s are great. Tubeless variant is a hell to get on the rim. To get tubeless tires on by hand, I go for Hutchinson tires
I'm not happy at all with the OEM Continental ProContact TX . I had a sidewall blowout (photo below) on I-40 in AZ with less than 1500 miles on the car.
