Yep, another recommendation for the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06+. I have these on my TT, and my son has them on his R32 and GTI. I really like them. My next tires for my Dodge will likely be these tires. They are great in the rain and dry, they're not loud, and they are decent in light snow, but they are certainly not snow tires.
I had a set of Contis on my mk4 GTI and did a track day with them and they did great.
Enjoy those! I have a set on my Matrix, for street tires they are silly grippy, at least on that car, much better than a tall econobox has any real right to. I've tried some others, but keep coming back.
i run these tires on my Fusion, they are low profile, have good traction. As they are low profile, performance tires, they transmit road feel more than normal tires.
18” continental extreme contact sport. A+. Tons of grip on the rain and on the track every now and then works amazing for the upgraded power on my 6
Continental DWS. Gave up some responsiveness but rides on clouds now. Much more compliant on the roads now (19 inch wheels)
For my 2011 Element AWD, switched from the original Goodyears to Continental Control Contact in 235/65/16 (calculated for appropriate aspect ratio). No rubbing in the wheel wells. Better ride and traction.
I have the SL4 with the the 51’s and gp5000 32c”s. I highly recommended, I’m glad i spent the extra for pro’s and I’m also glad I went with the deep rims instead of the 37’s. It’s plenty fast and I’m really pleased with the setup.
Not too sure if the continental are especially weak on the sidewalls, but I blistered 2 tires in a single summer + a leak on a third one. I'm a "careful" driver when it comes to preserving the integrity of my car lol. Montreal, Canada, is known for its ****ty road quality... So yeah, these tires are super easy to damage!
My 2013 Tig with continental contact-pro tires has just lost the 2nd tire to sidewall failure at only 30k mi. First was a blowout, thankfully while parked. Second was a slow leak. No known issue that would have caused side-wall failure. Never saw that before.
