Tires Continental or OEM FORD
I'm a big fan of my Continental Terrain Contact A/T. They don't look aggressive as KO2s or Falkens, but they perform well off-road, wet conditions, and are quiet on the road. Have not tested them in icy conditions.
Wind. I see it all the time here in the Southwest. Washboard road patterns emerge like sand dune shifts in the Sahara. Couple that with constant movement from tires on vehicles, it makes it worse.
High Desert Nevada. Continental have gotten me through the big storms we get and numerous icy conditions. With the traction control on the Velos, they have worked great.
Continental SRS+ drive amazing in the rain, good grip around corners and ride quality is great
On our 07 wagon we did SPT wagon pink springs on KYBs, 16” Sparco Terra’s with Continental DWS tires. Full set of Group N bushings, Cobb intake/acessport/cat back.
IME/FWIW front to back & side to side is fine w/ the DWS06+ although never really had too much of a difference in wear side to side over many sets of them on several vehicles. Front to back has been the biggest difference in wear on my Mk 6, 8.5V S3, Alltrack, & Mk 7.5.
I have always been a fan of Continental. I put control contact SRS+ tires on mine via Discount Tire. About 900 for 4 new ones with install and lifetime rotation/balance and replacement certs
Najskuplje nije nuzno najbolje ali za Conti tvrdim da vrijedi svake lipe. Imam auto od skoro 2ipo tone i 20 cola gume. Nenadjebive. Kisa, snijeg, blato... u name it
I just put the Enduro soft Kryptotal Fr and Re on and totally agree with your impression, they grip well but man are they noticeably slower than other similar tires. In my case Exo+ DHF and DHRs. I honestly don't know that the grip is worth it. I'm definitely not improving my time uphill or downhill.
Continental DWS06.
Heard great reviews of people saying this was an amazing all season tire with tons of grip in all conditions, great for sports cars year round that see some winter use too.
My god these tires felt hard as a rock compared to the Michelin A/S3+ I had on another set of wheels. Just not as much grip at all as I was expecting in the dry. Even in light snow, my TC light would flash more than when I was on the Michelins.
