The continental tires ride real quite for their size.
So I have 2800km on mine, mixed city and highway. I have just under 9/32 on the front and just over 9/32 in the rear. These again are the continental 5P new they have 10/32.
my Contipros are great at 34 psi
Mine came with ContiProContact rubber. I ran them at 34-35 psi instead of 37, on a stock suspension. A quiet, and compliant tire. Good for general street use and on the highway. They also worked well in the snow, to my surprise.
I've run my MK7 GTI with stock ContinentalProContact all-seasons (came with the car) on the stock Austins; and then with wider wheels and 235/40/18 PSS. Huge difference in wheel spin for the same throttle setting/gear.
Get rid of the p zeros and go with the continental all seasons, I did and love it
I have been using the same Continental Extreme Contact DW and separate winter tires for a year and a half and they have outstanding grip in wet and dry, are quite and wear is OK too.
Same for winter tires, where I've owned Michelin, Pirelli and Continental ExtremeWinterContact, and by far I like the Conti's followed by Michelin and I'll never own another set "ever" of the Pirelli Sottozero.
Conti ExtremeContacts are noisy. I have them on my Mazda5. The tires are especially loud when they are cold and moving at low speed. They feel like good tires and seem to wear well, but the noise factor alone makes me want to not keep them for too long.
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.
