Tires Continental or Achilles
I finally decided to try out some tires that might be closer to a road tire... I decided on the Continental Contact Urban’s in 700x 42mm.
I did my first big commute on them last week, and also rode around town all weekend. I‘m super impressed! They roll very fast! Great grip cornering tightly on pavement and they don’t feel the least bit sketchy on gravel or dirt sections...On the sections where I usually average 13-15 mph, I was getting more like 14-17 mph...But overall, a noticeable improvement.
The continental extreme contact sport dws06+ is grippy enough for spirited summer driving and handles well in snow. Not as good as a snow tire but as good as you can get with an a/s. Highly recommend
Continental ExtremeContact DWS06. It’s Continental’s premium all-season tires. I’ve had them now for two years and they have been excellent.
Depois troquei pelos continental e foi da água pro vinho...
My 2024 came with the Continental and they are amazing ????
Continental is frequently "second place" to Michelin in many categories (follow up on Tire Rack, and look their comparison guides), but they also cost like 80% of Michelin's price almost every time. They are never more expensive in the same category. Really good tires.
Personally, I’d spend the extra money and get Continental tires because they make good shit. I run them on both cars, specifically the DWS06+. If it can handle my 500+ hp car, it can handle whatever you’re putting them on.
For anyone finding this thread I've gotten some decent miles on the Kryptotal now on a variety of trails and am loving it. I'm riding Kryptotal FR Enduro Soft front and Xynotal Enduro Soft rear and can't believe the difference from the T9 Butcher that I still had on the front. Faster, grippier, and I have way more confidence they're going to stick.
My Continental Pure Contact all seasons are not awesome in snow. My Gislaved Nordfrost tires are.
Hit a pothole on the right side and replaced those with another brand (different from the stock Continentals, moved the Continentals to the front... and anything above 35 MPH the traction control light would flash. Anything above 55, I could very distinctly feel the car sliding all over the lane. It was very unsettling. I went back, returned the new ones, and bought the stock Continentals.
