Continental makes some of the best product in the industry and is very high quality
Continental is the far superior tire if the cotinental is also a winter tire. The studded Westlake may out perform the conti on glare ice and hard packed snow for the first season, maybe 2, but the continental will last longer and out perform the Westlake in just about every other way.
I run the Contis ECS and love them.
I had Continental Extreme Contact Sports on my STI, they were great.
I just got the new Continental Extremecontact Sport 02 in September. I’m super happy with them, on par with PS4s in my opinion (and a bit cheaper)
I had one. No problems, dry or wet, and it lasted for 3000 miles, pretty much exactly, without a single cut in it, which is very impressive for city riding. It died of being worn down to the threads in one patch. I would thoroughly recommend these tyres.
Durability is outstanding - over 2000 miles on my current pair with no punctures. Relatively light considering the strength and rolls well - but definitely not the fastest tire. It does ride firm but you can’t have everything. Haven’t had any issues in the rain but I always take it easy when it’s wet.
I have them on my beater/commuter/errand bike
No qualms and they do the job they are supposed to do. I wouldn’t put them on any of my fun bikes, but they are perfect on a bike that I just “set and forget.”
I have had the best luck w/ Michelin Pilot Sports or Super sports. I have had several sets of the Continental Sport Contacts on different cars including the Golf R and they seem to wear out early with noise and balance problems sooner than I would expect. I have never had a set last more than 20K miles before the tread was gone and/or they start having noise/balance issues. They are GREAT tires up until that point, but they don't last anywhere near their published treadlife rating.
I think the ProContacts are known to be junk. I upgraded to Continental DWS. If those fail, I'm switching brands for life.
