Pros: smooth AF

I had Extreme Contacts and loved them. I swapped my ContiProContact5s on my 24 S5 Sportback for Extreme Contact DWS06+ as I had them on my 17 Fusion Sport and absolutely loved them.
Pros: absolutely loved them
Vehicle:
Audi S5
Blasted through a Salt Lake winter storm a few weeks ago with these. Were amazing on my S3 so I highly recommend. I'm very happy with the continentals though!
Pros: amazing in winter storm
Vehicle:
Audi S3
In my opinion the named brandes like continental, Michelin, good year are good but over priced. I Mostly run SAVA, dont know if you know the brand but they are Quite good for the price. I run them on Volkswagen golf 4 (195/16/55) and on Volkswagen passat (225/17/xx)
Pros: quite good for price
Cons: over priced
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I ran these on my Mustang when I couldn't get Pilot Sport 4S tires at the time. I liked them. They were grippy and comfortable but did have a softer sidewall than the Michellin.
Pros: grippy and comfortable
Cons: softer sidewall
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
I’m on my second set on my Lexus GS350 and I love them. To me they’re just as quiet and grippy as the Michelin PS4S that came on the car but a little cheaper. I do think the continental wears a little faster but it’s almost negligible. They’re fantastic in the rain and dead quiet which were my main concerns.
Pros: quiet and grippy
Cons: wears a little faster
Vehicle:
Lexus
I use Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 on my S4 and they are really good and comfortable tires. I switched from Pirellis because they were way too stiff. Great on smooth roads but shit on bumpy roads. In New England there are lots of bumpy roads...
Pros: good and comfortable tires
Cons: too stiff on bumps
Vehicle:
Audi Q5
I currently have 55k miles on my Falkens. Have spent many, many days in heavy snow in the mountains of Washington and Colorado without an issue. Great tires, I will be getting another pair
Pros: great tires, no issues
Mileage: 55000 km
R888r actually heat okay. They're just ancient and overpriced. Their wear life is horrible. They're noisy.
Pros: heat okay
Cons: horrible wear life
Anecdotal, but I bought a 2022 CX5 earlier this year and it came with Toyo tires on it. My rear driver side tire literally BLEW UP while I was driving 75mph to work at 4 in the morning. It was so bad that there was nothing left of the tire except a couple inches of the side wall around the wheel. I had 8200 miles on the tires.
Pros: pretty quiet
Cons: tire literally blew up
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 8200 km
