Tires Continental or WEST LAKE
My brother has dsw06s on his Focus RS. They're awesome tires but have a short lifespan. I got Conti PureContacts and haven't had a single complaint, they've never lost traction or hydroplaned (not for lack of trying), and are quiet except on perfectly smooth pavement.
I like my DWS06+ set. Not terrible in snow and pretty good in rain.
DWS06+ user here. Amazing tires, especially in the rain.
The stock kinergys are quite bad new and once they start approaching 1/2 life left, became honestly dangerous in the rain from my experience. I replaced them with Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+’s well before the tires were worn out and haven’t looked back. 100% worth it.
Also, I run Continental Race Kings in 29x2.2.
I’ve been very happy with the Continental TrueContacts on two different cars. Good tread life and performance.
Also I live in the Northeast, around Philly, so I needed something with decent all season traction. Conti has been great. And very good wear rating .
Dws 06+ bro. I praise them forever. Had them on my Elantra, our Mazda 3, and our Wrx
I currently have the Continental Sport Contact 5 SSR tires. They were what CarMax put on when I bought it. I don’t care for the run flat technology as my insurance covers towing as well as I have a plug kit and portable compressor in my car if it’s not bad enough for those to handle it. I was looking at the Kumho LX Platinum KU27 but really don’t know much about the specifics of tires. Looking for advice on my current choice and/or recommendation. Thanks!
Every single VW I have owned that came with Continental Tires I have had to replace them well before their tread "Lifetime" This time I need to replace a set at 22k miles because they have hit their wear bar, this despite regular rotation. Absolute TRASH!!!
