Tires Continental or NANKANG
I think the comfort of the 17" DWS06 is my favorite of the lot, so much so I sold the 18" Neuspeed RSE10's wrapped in PSAS4's on my Alltrack and am replacing them with 17" Neuspeed RSE05's wrapped in 235/45/17 DWS+.
Based on the above comment you will love the Conti's Really giving up very little except at the extreme limits Tire wear is excellent and they perform great in the wet which in my opinion is the most important performance criteria
I have ridden GP5000 25c for several thousand miles. Front tire is at 90 PSI, rear at 100. Rides smooth and I haven’t had a flat but once when I clearly deserved it ( smashed a pothole at speed, probably lucky I didn’t break my rim)
After replacing 3 Toyo’s with bubbles I went with Conti DWS +. Handle potholes way better and better grip in bad weather.
I have ContiProContact tires for my R-60. I most definitely purchased Run Flats as they were the “MINI Approved” tires suggested by service guy at the MINI dealership.
Personally I would recommend the Continental EXTREME CONTACT DWS 06. They are as good if not better than Michelin Pilot Super Sport.
Continental Terrain Contact AT. Best tire I ever owned. Even better than General Grabbers
The other snow tire I used in my 14 years of driving is a Continental Winter Contact SI which was excellent on highway winter driving but not as good for snowy road driving.
I had the continental contipro contacts on my car for around 6 years. They were good tires, they worked on dry roads and in the snow about as effectively, their rain grip was a little questionable, but what I really hated about them was how fast they wore out.
I ran a set of Nankang tires for 4 months. They came on the wheels I bought and they had good tread, so I figured that it would just be a waste for me to spend money on new tires while running these. They are not great - winter traction is non-existent, it was legitimately scaring driving on these tires when it was below 20 degrees outside and my car is AWD so that's saying something too (I didn't die though so I guess it's okay ), dry traction is okay, but tires feel very numb. They ride kind of hard too and are noisy. I do drive them up to 100+ usually. Haven't had an issue so far. I am taking them off and putting a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3s. I am expecting big improvements. So my recommendation: don't buy them. save the money, use your current set, and when you have enough, get a decent set of tires.
