Tires Continental or LASSA
Spend your money on GOOD TIRES before boosting the performance. The car gets very torquey when tuned, and if you don\u2019t have rubber that can grip the road consistently, you will find yourself spinning if you start out a bit too exuberantly. I have Continental ProContact all seasons.
From that list I would get the Continental Conti Ultra Contact because it's the quietest tire there with A tier wet performance.
I just got my M3 and bought a set of previous gen 18 inch rims, put continental viking contact 8's on them, so far good here in buffalo.
Honda accord does fine with some all weather tires. I use continental contipro contact. Never had an issue
Mechanic recommended Continental ProContacts as all-weathers for a small FWD VW sedan, and I've been happy with them for a couple winters.
I'm running the stock 19"s on my Mk8 with Continental Vikings. So far I'm content.
Continental Vikingcontact 7 is by far my favorite for snow and ice mix (we get a lot of slush with ice under it here). also pretty quiet for a winter tire on dry roads.
I run Nokian Hakka RS5 on my GTI. Continental Viking contact 7 on our Golf wagon. Both are excellent.
The SportContact 6 have been disappointing in a few areas: poor rolling resistance, high wear, and noticeable road noise. I’d like to improve on those aspects while keeping good wet grip. I don’t mind a bit less dry handling — the SportContact 6 are insanely good there, but I’m not tracking the car, so that level of performance isn’t really necessary for public roads.
I’m using the Continental 5000 TR S 32mm running tubeless.
Everytime I ride I get a puncture! It’s crazy and not sure why. I used one of the tire calculators and it has me at 68psi front, 70 rear.
Rode with a buddy couple weeks back who has the same tires and he got a puncture so bad on the rear it wouldn’t seal, we had to put a plug it.
I might try lowering the pressure and see what happens. Tires are new…
