I have ContiExtremeContact summer tires on my TDI (now at 60,000 miles), and expect to get at least 30,000 - 35,000 miles on them.
Having had the PureContacts for a week or two now....AWESOME decision (235/45/18) Fuel economy started going up right away on the MFD. (I'm not saying it's accurate, but if that went up...something obviously changed) The ride is awesome and they are quiet Glad I went with them :thumbup:
That being said, I find continentals are pretty great for the money.
Purchased four new Continental PureContact Tire 215/55R16XL 97H from Walmart in Yorktown for $107 each - installed on OEM 16x7 Catalunya wheels at 109242 miles.
I run 255/40-17 tires on all four corners of my Honda S2000 track day car. I wanted to be able to use those on the R, so I had Adaptec make custom adapters: 15mm thick in front, 25mm thick for the rear. On them I have a set of Hankook RS-3s 255/40-17, a set of Nitto NT01s (same size) and a set of BFG Comp 2 A/S 245/45-17 (my all season go anywhere tires used on the R as a daily driver). I am at stock ride height and none of these tires ever rub.
I was in the same boat and I decided to roll with the BF Goodrich g-force comp 2 A/S tires. So far they're awesome and I have no complaints after about a month.
I recently went through this with my 2012 Passat with 18s on it. I decided to try something different. I did the BF Goodrich Comp 2 A/S tires. Very reasonably priced, Z rated, and has extremely good ratings for dry, wet and snow. So far I am very pleased.
On my past cars I put about 50k miles on the old DWS and also about 30k on the DW and have always been happy with them. Saying that I ordered the DWS06 in size 255/35/19 the first couple weeks they were out and there no reviews yet. I knew that it would more than likely be a better tire than the old DWS which I was a happy with. I have already put about 20k miles on the tires and they have been great in the rainy Florida weather and so far have really shown no wear at all.
bought new conti dsw had them mounted and balanced and the shaking begins 69-78 mph balanced three times and then road force determined three bent wheels, bought new wheels (same style) put on same conti dsw tires. Shake continued not as violent speed 72-76mph. balanced tires twice and then road force determined bad tire. continental warrantied tire and sent new.
Had the DWS and MXM4s on a 07 Passat 4Mo wagon. Destroyed the Conti's in 27K, the Michelins looked new at 25K. I won't buy the DWS again for my current 13 CC 4Mo.
