Tires OEM BMW or Continental
Got 4 Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 about 3 months ago. The best tires i’ve ever owned. Complete shock compared to the OEM.
I quite like the continental doublefighter.
I've had both the DWS06 and now the AS4, I found the DWS06 a little quieter, felt like same performance in the dry, the AS4 is better in the rain (on my highways the DWS06 would hydroplane at 50mph) but slightly worse in the snow
got 78,000 on oem Continentals. Tire vendor thought I could still push for another 10,000 miles… In South Florida on mostly smooth roads.
I run Conti ECS, they are a performance street tire. It's what BMW M cars come with.
I’m a Continental Michelin tire guy. I have the extreme contacts on my ZL1 camaro and they handle great for the buck.
These tires are way quieter, stiffer on turns and gives me slightly better range (was at 340kwh now at 300kwh)
Wear and tear on the track is tires and brake pads. My OEM Conti tires lasted 3 track days and 4650 miles, instead of the 10k miles they are rated for. Learn how to inspect your pads visually so you can see how much material is left.
The Continental ExtremeContact DWS comes in the stock size and they weren't bad on my R, might give them another shot.
OEM tires usually aren't great. Had pro contact conti's on the Tig and my Golf. They are just loud and hard.
