Tires Continental or Cooper
After some research, I decided to give the Contis another try. Except this time, I went with the Trail casing in the Endurance compound out back and Soft in the front (Kryptotal Fr and Re again). Took them out on the trails this morning and it was an entirely different experience from my first one with Contis. They were fast, light, and still had that great traction I remembered. To my surprise, even with the lighter casing, the sidewalls were still nice and supportive. I even hit some chunky rock gardens and they held their line perfectly without pinging the rim.
This post was made last year. I am now in a new vehicle, again with DWS06+ now my 3rd car with them and they are by far my favorite tires I've ever ran. They're perfect for a DD imo. Perfect balance between performance longevity comfort and road noise.
On my MK7.5, I\u2019m currently running CONTINENTAL EXTREME CONTACT DWS 06 PLUS and absolutely love them! They\u2019re probably the best tires I\u2019ve run on the 4 GTIs I\u2019ve owned over the years!!! \ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udffe
Me and my friend both are using continental UC6 on our cars. It seems to work well both on my rapid and his 2017 city.
I have an xc90 which is also awd. Had a screw in the side and they just replaced that tyre. I only use continental which have excellent wear. I think the current set is at 80,000km
Put them on a 2018 4Runner and they ride way better and quieter than the Toyo Open Country they replaced. They look great and they handle well in dry and wet but haven’t had the chance to test snow and ice yet myself.
I use these on my prius. I don't use anything but continentals. I've been driving on these for 10 years on different Priuses that I've had. The tariffs are causing the prices to go up.
I'm always a fan of Continentals offerings. They seem to last and not get noisy. I put a new set of the Extremecontacts on a couple months ago and they handle very well.
... Continentals ... incredible to 50% tread wear in my experience ... then not so incredible even with 5-6,000 mile balance/rotations.
As someone who was between these two tires and went with DWS06, get the Michelins. I've had issues with vibrations from the continentals that just won't go away. Balanced multiple times by multiple shops. Had all suspension and steering components checked and couldn't solve it.
