Tires Continental or SUMITOMO
Continental DWS 06 or the new DWS 06 Plus that was released earlier this year is my go-to for all season.
Continental 4 Seasons are faster than Gatorskins while still having reasonable puncture protection.
With the Arteon, and some pretty sporty driving, I am about to replace all 4 tires on Wednesday, with around 32,000 miles - the fronts are right at the wear bars and the backs still have a touch more
I'm running continental ecs and never looked back
I like them, they do great in the gravel, rain and snow but are a summer tire so they dont suck ass most of the time like most All Seasons (aka no seasons). Im on my second set, and will definitely get them again when needed.
last year I went with Continental VikingContact 7 on the new car. They are pretty good for studless
I bought the Continental VikingContact 7 for my Rav4 back in 2019, and have been very happy with them. They were also cheaper than the Michelin or Nokian.
Continental Extreme contact sport. Great tire ????????
I run DWS06s on the 19 cadiz... have been for ~48k now. The rears are still almost to the wear bars, and the fronts were replaced just over ~3k ago. I live in Lorton/DC area... commute into the city. Yes, they're squishy for the first 2k... then they square up.
As for tires, I'd absolutely recommend against getting Conti DW's. I got them to replace Michelin PSS' mainly because they were cheaper and I thought the drop off in performance wouldn't be as significant as the price difference but it is...Very significant. For a chill family car, DW's are great..for any kind of performance driving, they just aren't good enough. Traction is ok but the sidewalls are very soft and I could feel them rolling and giving away at the track.
