Tires Falken or Continental
I didn’t realize how much of an impact good tires really made on the driving experience until I upgraded to Conti ExtremeContact DWS’s. Everything about the Contis is significantly better than the LS-2’s. Grip in all conditions was vastly improved.
Putting a set of 225 DWS06 Plus rubber on my 23 Sport M6 made enough of an improvement to satisfy me. The stock tires aren't very good imo.
Check out Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02 for slightly more money, non-directional so it can be rotated, substantially better quality and performance all with a mileage warranty.
Have had multiple sets of Continental tires on my R32, really can't go wrong with their DWS 06's. They are excellent all arounders.
Drove the car to pick up my daughter at the airport yesterday in the rain. Normally wouldn\u2019t do that but wanted to test the Conti wet traction. So far I\u2019m impressed. They\u2019re miles better than the stock Bridgestones
I put DWS 06+ on my 2016 GTI S at about 93,000 miles. At 142,000 I still have some tread left. They're far superior to the OEM Bridgestones (H rated? Seriously, VW?) I replaced those with TAs and they were pretty good, but the Contis are much better.
I have run Continental DWS 06 extreme contact all seasons on multiple vehicles and have been very impressed with grip. I would recommend these if you’re looking at replacements.
Not the 02 but I had a set of the Conti ECSs on my stage 1 MK7 R and loved them. Great wet traction, especially under power, and they were fairly quiet. I also have them on my current E92 M3 and they've stood up very well to two track days so far. Loads of dry grip.
i did not understand the difference between load rating when i ran my ko2, had a good side wall tear ko2 in snow was meh but it was nice not to have to put chains on in chain control i now run the wildpeak in 35 and they are chonky. i think they work pretty good on/off road. tho gas mileage sucks now on the bigger tire. neither tire is very loud and I can't hear them inside the gx.
I have run these before and was extremely disappointed by their winter performance. Skip the A/T and get dedicated winters. They are WAY better. You’ll be fine means it will make it but not necessarily easily. I run Blizzak dmv2 which blow them out of the water.
