Reviews of Continental tires

Continental DWS06.

Heard great reviews of people saying this was an amazing all season tire with tons of grip in all conditions, great for sports cars year round that see some winter use too.

My god these tires felt hard as a rock compared to the Michelin A/S3+ I had on another set of wheels. Just not as much grip at all as I was expecting in the dry. Even in light snow, my TC light would flash more than when I was on the Michelins.

If these tires are the only ones that meet your budget requirements then the continental is going to suit you best in my opinion, obviously you could spend more and get a better tire from Les Schwab or Costco, BUT again every budget has its own needs, personally Ive owned a vehicle with those continentals on it and it didn’t do bad in the rain and I didn’t overly notice road noise

I have those continental tires on my car right now and they’re really good

I'm a Conti guy, they're on both our cars. Premium brand, never let me down. I've run Kumhos in the past and they were good for the price.

The best tire by far is Continental. No question. The Kumho is the only one I would even think of putting on a car.

Continental > Kumho > Road Hugger > Sentury

The road hugger and kumho are pretty good budget tires. The continental is a nice high end model. And the sentury is pretty bad.

Thanks for all the advice guys, went ahead and ordered the Continental ECS 02s, fingers crossed I’m happy with them. My biggest issue with my RS4s is that it takes about 2 runs on my favorite backroad to get enough heat in them to really stick and I don’t push my car on public roads like I used to. If I get the added benefit of making my car more daily-able that’s not a bad thing either.

... Continentals ... incredible to 50% tread wear in my experience ... then not so incredible even with 5-6,000 mile balance/rotations.

Continental or bust.
