Tire store employees say Conti is best overall. I have the Pirellis and hard to imagine a quiter, smoother, UHP all season.
Contis all the way.
PS4S FTW. But if it HAS to be between these, then the Contis
If you have a Discount Tire near you they made a special Discount Tire only collab with continental called the Control Contact Sport SRS+, they’re basically the same thing but ~$10 cheaper on average and better overall, that’s what I’m getting in just a month or so here. It’s hard to directly compare them but people have said the SRS+ are even sportier with a firmer sidewall and better steering response. At the end of the day they’re very similar but the edge goes to SRS in performance and price.
My Michelin pilot sport all seasons have treated me well… My a4 came with the older version of those continentals, as soon as I switched them it felt like the steering was much sharper and road noise was much less. Rain performance is also nuts. I’d skip the Pirellis but i’ve only driven the summer tire which had the same issues (noise & numb steering)
My recommendation is the Cont's
Same price, DWS06+ NO QUESTION. it’s the better tire. I’ve owned both. It’s much more expensive than the AS plus 3 where I live.
I have a similar experience. Was using apollo for my i20 changed to Conti, the sound is definitely less and smooth too. Have an issue with one of the tyre. It got a really small bulge i between the threads. I couldn’t claim the warranty since my dealer fkd up the warranty registration. Other than the negligible bump, the tyre is working fine and smooth
I have 30k on my 22 hatch and while they still have tread depth the compound has deteriorated so badly that they understeer in the cold at low speed.
I installed Continental GP Urban tires today which are very similar to GP 5000 that are very popular. Today on a fast mildly steep paved dry decent when making a slight turn - my rear wheel slipped. Switched to conti GP expecting some good performance and they do roll better but they have far less grip than vittoria zaffiro pro graphene.
