You would be better off choosing Continentals ControlContact or Falkens Pro G5
Continental Premiumcontact 6 on my 2021 hybrid. Quite pricy but quiet and feel very safe and I had some emergency braking situations on a wet road. After 5k miles I'm still happy about this choice.
I'm very happy with the Continental Viking Contact 7 snow tires, they are surprisingly quiet on dry roads.
Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02s are a bargain for a flagship summer tire that's excellent in the rain. I have them on my Si and run them daily and for autocross. While not as as sticky as a 200TW summer tire, they are really great in dry or wet conditions, and reasonably priced. I also had DWS06+ on my previous daily, a 2013 328i, and I liked those too.
I think a good tire is [Continental Tour] with a skin wall. It's made for Dynamo and includes a light safety belt.
I use it on my old bikes.
I had Continental DWS 06+ on my 2023 BRZ with a different wheelset and was extremely happy with them. I specifically tested them for grip in the wet and they were way better than the summer performance Michelin those cars come with as standard.
I went from the stock Firestone Destination M/T on my Willys Sport to the Continental TerrainContact A/T and they’re fantastic. My job changed and I have to highway drive about 100 miles round trip everyday. It was a huge difference. Quiet, great ride (for a Gladiator) and my mpg improved, I regularly get 22-23 on the highway with occasional 24-25 vs the sub 20 on the M/Ts. I can’t speak to the off-road element on these, I haven’t had an opportunity. Give them a look.
The Nokian lasts so Long been using it since 2001 in Minnesota and now it's 2024. Rubber and studs like new. Best money I ever spent.
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.
They're notoriously bad tires. Slow and slippery, and the puncture protection isn’t even that great, so they’re mostly overpriced.
