I previously had the Michelin PS4S and the noise and ride were pretty good, noise was most noticeable on concrete roads. In December I changed to the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 and they are quieter and ride better than the PS4S, ride quality is actually pretty damn nice in normal mode and almost luxury like in comfort.
I avoided the 805 big blocks because of typically rough and noisy street use. Figured they’d be great offroad. Tried some 705s and they were great street tires but really loose and washy offroad. I’m on the 700s now and I’m really liking them. Closest thing to a 50/50 tire I’ve ever had.
Can’t go wrong with the Conti. We have the American version on both a 718 and GTI and work very well in dry/wet.
Kupio sam Continental Sport contact 7, pozadi mi idu 275/30/20 a napred 245/35/20, da mi je neko pricao da moze takva razlika da bude u voznji sa gumama ne bih mu verovao u zivotu, auto zalpljen za put, nema buke, po kisi brutalne....
Ja mám rád Continental a zimu. Fungujú celkom fajn. Chvíľu som mal zimné Bridgestone ale ničili sa príliš rychlo
Those Continental's are great tires! I went through 2 sets on my Passat. I always felt secure while driving.
Agree with others who point out that you can run anything but, since you're looking for upgrades, I can attest that the Continental Extremecontact DWS 06+ is an absolutely fantastic UHP all-season if you're not in a climate where you have dedicated summer and winter tires. I went to them straight after Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires and I'm not going back to Michelins.
If you absolutely must use a dual duty then continental ECS02, michelin PS4S, hankook v601. These will have good NVH, strong wet weather performance for your daily drive, acceptable tire life on your commute to work and back.
Ironman's are crap, and continentals are mid at best on most makes
The black edition is the same as the regular gatorskins. They're pretty much all I ride, it's not grippy in the wet nor the most comfortable and its rolling resistance is twice that of GP5000's.
