Tires Continental or OEM Subaru
205/50ZR16 Continental Extremecontact DWS
I love the look of a bit wider tire and the Conti’s are awesome in wet conditions.
Continental contact urban are excellent tires! They come in many sizes, they feel nice and supple for a touring tire, very fast, lots of grip and good puncture protection.
My wife got almost 60k miles out of her continental cross contact tires on her 2021 Honda pilot. I like Michelin tires but was really impressed with the continentals. I bought the updated version which are the LX25’s. I live in Nebraska and we get all the seasons. Might be worth a look
I have the stock Conti EcoContact6 and they’re pretty good even in the wet. It takes deliberately poor driving to even come close to breaking the back end loose.
Mines too has the stock contis, and you can go full send in the wet and between the tyre and traction control, no wheel spin (unless you chase after it by turning etc)
I have a seal premium, live in a very wet tropical climate, drive in only sport mode, and with the stock continental's I find the car to be very sticky even in the wet it takes a deliberate movement to get the back end loose.
Went with the Continental DW06 since I had them on the GTI. Night and Day from the Summer Tires, much better for driving around town.
I have a solid set of Continental Tires that have held up well in Buffalo weather.
I had the PureContact LS before these. The PureContacts were slightly quieter, and also slightly smoother on roads, and because I didn't take the Extremes to the extreme, I can't say if/how much better they are at handling, but on paper they should be.
I would have stuck with the PureContacts, but I had a very unfortunate puncture that was unserviceable, and they don't make them anymore.
Conti’s are the most fragile tire. Sidewall bubble will show up for potholes you don’t even recall hitting.
