After having tyre wall damage to my Hankook run-flats, thought of switching to radials for better durability & ride comfort. Such a great decision, indeed! I finalized with Continental UC6 87V.
I was down to Michelin pilot sport vs continental extreme contact and went with continental because there were a lot of reviews saying that the michelins wore out too fast. The continental tires have been the best I've ever had. .
For what it’s worth, I run Continental ExtremeContact Sports. They’re almost as good as the PS4’s for a little less money.
Continental Extremecontacts DWS06+, outstanding set of tires.
Especially in the rain, the amount of grip you'll still have is amazing
I've had an '18 GT for a few years now, and I am just now on my second set of Conti ExtremeContact DWS06. They've served me well driving up to Big Bear for snowboarding, and ripping on Angeles Crest in the summer. I have also NOT been kind to them (left turns from a stop I just can't help myself). 10/10 would recommend them for an all around grippy and safety tire.
I run continental Extreme Contacts DWS on mine. They’re amazing and handle snow well too
Conti Viking 7 have been best of the three in my opinion. Excllent in winter and I am even running 19 inch. I took my car out for a Sept warm wknd (was forced to) and even in those conditions I had no idea I was rolling on winters. If I had done that in my Blizzaks, you would have felt the softness. Based on their feel and winter performance, I won’t be looking at other winter tires again.
All conditions were great EXCEPT wet root. So I'm also in the 'waiting for enduro super soft' camp.
Compared to Maxxis Assegai(grip) + DHR(terra) both exo+:
\* Conti feel more stable than exo+ but not worlds apart
\* Conti roll significantly faster (prob mainly due to Assegai being very slow)
\* Assegai maxxgrip has WAY more 'chemical' grip vs KR-F enduro soft. (Super soft is roughly the same)
\* Conti have more stability in side knobs and more 'physical' grip in loam
\* KR-R as better breaking traction IMO but is also heavier.
I use Gatorskin clincher on my commuter bike. They are very durable, with little wear marks after 2 years of use. But they aren’t light and fast like GP5000s. If you are a roadie, then I wouldn’t recommend Gatorskins for sport rides.
I am still not impressed with these tires. I'm just about to hit 14k miles on these tires and they are some of the worst tires I've had. Definitely going to replace them before winter. We average 6-8 inches of snow every winter and these tires are like race slicks in the snow.
