Continental makes great tires. My favorite tires are Continental DWS 06+. I've ran them on 3 cars and will continue doing so indefinitely.
used to sell tires for years. starfire or mastercraft were good. they're a lower tier tire produced by cooper that still retain a decent warranty.
I’ve left extreme contact sport tires on my car down to about 25F a few times. No flat spots. I’ve driven in 33-35F and they definitely had way less grip, but I was careful and it was fine.
My own choice is Cooper, not the cheapest, but it definitely lasted longer than any of my Goodyear or Firestone tires I had in the past.
Lots of people have mentioned gp5k, which are very fast, but continental also sells "all seasons" tires which are kind of best of both worlds between gp5k and gatorskin. Not quite as fast as 5k, not quite as much protection as gatorskin, but very close on both counts.
Continental tires are a bitch to take off and put on. Otherwise, I do stand by their durability and reliability. They're great tires, Gatorskin or not!
Continental 4 Season is all I roll with due to surviving a rough +300km cycle with raw thread already exposed due to a severe break on rough ground and glass. Tough, grippy, all weather.
I switched to 5000's a while back and haven't regretted it. They definitely roll faster and corner better.
Very timely thread. I've been wondering what to put on the husband's car, Continental DWS 06+ or Michelin CrossClimate2.
Last Coopers I bought at Walmart. Rode so hard, no give to them.
