I was torn between these two myself but went with the dw06 because of all the reviews saying that the pilot sports wear out fast. The dw06 is quiet and great in the rain so I think I made the right choice.
Continental PureContact LS. Also have them on my A3 Etron. The tires were less expensive and have much better grip and handling. They also are quieter and longer lasting.
Why is Continental nowhere on this chart?
I have their tires in all my cars and they are pretty good
The front looks ok but I also just got contis and put them on even with some life left on my old specialized.
I think a premium tyre is definately worth it. Michelin or Continental will outlast, be quieter, grip better and improve economy over all budget and most every mid range tyre.
I got Meineke to repair my stock model Y tire before and it held up nicely, after I replaced both of my Teslas with Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus and I haven’t look back, no foam and you can’t even tell a difference in road and they are awesome for significantly less money per tire, plus they have indicators to tell when to replace for Dry, Wet and Snow conditions. Will only use these tires moving forward on my vehicles.
I live in Bucharest, the amount of glass shards on the road is shattering. I switched from Conti SportContact (4 flats/week on average) to DTH, inflated to 5 bars, no flats yet in about half a year. I find them very comfy on both asphalt and forest roads.
Continental RaceKings of the Black Chili Protection recipe with a couple ounces of Stan’s sealant in each tire. I ride in goathead thorn country and 4 tires on 2 bikes are full of thorns. I never get flats.
Maybe I'm just luck as far as flats go, but I've never really been pleased with the ride and grip trade off for something like the 4 Season compared to something more in the "performance" category.
Not caring about rolling resistance is one thing, but something like a GP5000 (or similar tire from whatever brand,) just rides better.
Oh, and my OEM tires Continental PureContacts wore out....fast! (And I run snows in winter). Crap tires I won't buy again.
