Tires Continental or IRONMAN
Continental 4 Seasons are faster than Gatorskins while still having reasonable puncture protection.
With the Arteon, and some pretty sporty driving, I am about to replace all 4 tires on Wednesday, with around 32,000 miles - the fronts are right at the wear bars and the backs still have a touch more
I'm running continental ecs and never looked back
last year I went with Continental VikingContact 7 on the new car. They are pretty good for studless
I bought the Continental VikingContact 7 for my Rav4 back in 2019, and have been very happy with them. They were also cheaper than the Michelin or Nokian.
Continental Extreme contact sport. Great tire ????????
Continental Extreme Contact Sports; LOVE them.
I personally love the DWS and used them as my "winter tire" in the PNW. I did find them to lack the sidewall support for giving me confidence in the dry, however if you aren't pushing the car hard, they are a fantastic all year tire
Agree on running them at higher pressure to help with squishy feeling. All around performance in inclement weather was pretty good. Mine got noisy earlier than I would have hoped for primarily long distance highway use even with proper alignment, balance and rotation.
As for tires, I'd absolutely recommend against getting Conti DW's. I got them to replace Michelin PSS' mainly because they were cheaper and I thought the drop off in performance wouldn't be as significant as the price difference but it is...Very significant. For a chill family car, DW's are great..for any kind of performance driving, they just aren't good enough. Traction is ok but the sidewalls are very soft and I could feel them rolling and giving away at the track.
