I upgraded to continental dws 06+, for the price I don't think you can beat them. more than double the treadlife of the stock tires, great performance in varying driving conditions.
Approaching 15.000 km with them, (225 50 r15), thought that may be interesting to refer my impressions. They are perfect off road and on road at 200km/h +, never detecting slippage under rain or in sharp turns. EDL and ABS rarely engaged, (both working perfectly). There are no signs of premature wear, neither they are loosing pressure.
Continental VikingContact 7 on steel rims.
Best I’ve had in 24 brutal Montreal winters.
Continental Extreme DWS on my wagon, 18". They ride really nice and are way more aggressive than the pirellis that either of my volvos came with.
Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 is a better overall tire, and tested betting in dry and wet traction...
I bought a set of continental LX25s and they've been great so far.
I think the OEM tires are crap so I changed them out about a month after I got the car. Went to Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02's.
The CRS tires hold there grip very well thru out the life of the tire. They can come to heat cycled from the shop but these do work better if you heat cycle them per their instructions before your track day.
Not too sure if the continental are especially weak on the sidewalls, but I blistered 2 tires in a single summer + a leak on a third one. I'm a "careful" driver when it comes to preserving the integrity of my car lol. Montreal, Canada, is known for its ****ty road quality... So yeah, these tires are super easy to damage!
Terrible tires with tons of road noise.
