I just put a set of Continental extremecontact dws06 plus on my car and they are an absolute dream in the ice and snow for an all season
I have a set of these, 6 years. Never a single issue. They are a little harder but nothing like what you would expect from the comments.
I’m replacing them tomorrow with a new set 6 years to the day from when I 1st put them on.
They are amazing tires. Hands down the best I have ever owned in 30 years of driving.
Nitto tires use a lot of the same tech as Toyo (who owns them) so you are just seeing a decent AT truck tire wearing like it should. All the no grip comments are funny this is a truck tire not a sport tire. Nitto has a winter line as well that is great and very inexpensive.
Love mine, they’re great
Just moved from Nokian all weather, which are really good, to studded Contis on a small fwd vehicle. Pretty unreal difference. Have Bridgestone all weather on an awd vehicle, which are also good, but the studded Contis beat the crap out of them.
I had the R2s on my 2021 Domane SL7. Had a rear sidewall blowout after a few hundred miles without hitting anything. Trek warrantied the tire and I used the credit to upgrade to the GP5K tubeless. Have to say they are awesome in every way and I like the tubeless ride, smooth, fast, grippy.
Changing between the two is like riding a totally different bike - very responsive with the conti tyres but can give a lot of vibration on rough surfaces and much more dampened with the Bontragers but confidence inspiring when riding over damp leaves etc.
I'd go with the Conti GP 5000.
I've ridden the R3s in a 28c tubeless on my Domane. The R3s were solid but I really liked the way the GP5ks rolled when I had them (32c with tubes).
I have Conti-Extreme Contact DWS06's on her from fall-spring (right now I have summers on.) today the temps were at around 57* and they were most certainly squirrely until they warmed up. They are a good overall tire but they will break loose (both all season and summer) if you have enough HP. they're a good all season tire. but I wouldn't push them to the limits. they are predictable also and I've pushed them in the corners with satisfactory handling.
Those tires are complete total dogshit. I will never, ever put them on my car again. About 2K miles of good tires, and about 20K of greaseball bullshit.
