Tires Continental or Cooper
Continental P7. Dugotrajnije, i tiše od ostalih navedenih. A u budžetu si.
Nekada davno sam se trudio da biram gume, u poslednjih 10 godina samo kupim Continental i ne gubim mnogo vreme na to.
The Cooper Zeon are significantly better, especially in the rain. I don't generally *try* to roast my tires, but there's been many situations where these Zeon tires have held grip where the Extensa would undoubtedly let loose.
Of all the big name brands I've had, by far the most comfortable were Continentals (sport or premium contact) nothing came close for pure comfort. I don't get them often because they wear very fast but pure comfort and grip they are outstanding. Thier sport contact line is amazingly comfortable considering they are a performance tyre
Still good looking tires for a pilot/passport. I really like the stock contis.
I think the OP made a great decision in getting some Continental DWS 06 tires vs. using those summer tires. I have used Conti DWS 06 tires in Winter while living in Colorado, Maine, Mississippi and now Germany. For places like Colorado and Maine, I'd recommend the Conti DWS 06 as a 3-season tire and then using a dedicated Winter tire. For Mississippi, the Conti DWS 06 is all you will ever need even for the most severe MS Winter. For Germany the Conti DWS 06 is doing a great job, for the severe winter days that are quite seldom, I have my Atlas with 4Motion and All-Weather tires.
Honestly, I was surprised how refined in terms of NVH the Continental Sport Contact 7 is. I've got them in 235/35 R19 and comfort-wise I wasn't expecting anything to be honest, but it was a nice surprise!
I ride the tires at 42 psi and currently w/ new Cooper Instincts at 44 psi returning comparable mileage.
I had this same model on my prior VAG vehicle (in 245/40R19) and pretty typical for OEM tires: smooth ride, reasonably quiet, handles ok (both dry & wet), and can cope with an early- or late-season light snow when you're caught unexpectedly w/o your winter or all-weather tires.
I would not buy Conti Pure contact LS again, they long lasting, grip and performance looks good but they are too harsh for me ( 225/50/17 has 98V load index)
