I decided to switch to Continental PureContact tires as they are better rated and less expensive and still are low rolling resistance. I haven’t noticed any loss in range.
PS - for what it’s worth, my snow tires are Continental WinterContacts and I’ve run them for about 6 years so far and I still have over 60% tread left. They’re fantastic.
They’re good tires, the best tires I’ve ever had were Continentals, but these feel solid.
I run the nt555r2’s, worth every penny. Night and day difference in traction.
I run conti dws06 on my gti here in the PNW they're great in the dry and wet!
I’m running continental extremecontact dws06 on my rwd coupe.
Continental PureContact LS are probably the best performance all season. They have a 60k mile tread life, perform very well on dry and wet road, but they are a bit on the pricier side.
I did this ride the opposite direction in 2019 in late Summer. It is probably doable on 25mm. I did the ride on 28mm tires, continental grand prix (so barely any tread). The dirt sections are very hard packed gravel and I didn't have any issues even on muddier sections.
Continental DWS06's have always had issues without being out of balance. This has been a criticism since they were introduced. That being said, they are probably the best all season tire for \"snow.\"
One of the best mods I’ve done in my car so far is Motegi wheels in 17” and Firestone Firehawk.......the stock Contis suck!
