Tires Continental or Achilles

Check out continental extremecontact sport. It was continentals competitor to the pilot super sport. Cheaper than ps4 and quite good!

I went with Conti purecontact LS in 225/50. Fits the rim great. Conti specifies 6-8" width and this rim is 7". I know wider isn't considered better for winter but it's a great tire and will do much better than what comes oem in the cold and snow. Still a narrower contact patch than what comes on the SEL. Same revolutions per mile as the stock 205/55. These are all season as opposed to all whether but get better snow and ice reviews than many all weathers.

I've had Continental DWS06 235/40/18 225/45/18 tires on my 2011 Speed and I loved them. The 235/40 had more grip but the 225/45 ride better. Simply put, the DWS06 tires are the best tires I've ever owned.

the mechanic that put on my new Continentals reckons I'll get 20,000ks out of them.

I sure wish Continental ExtremeContact DWS were available. I've had them on a few ICE BMWs and they're awesome tires and work great with BMW suspension.

The best performance tires I ever had were the Continental Pure Contact, V rated. Superb handling, road feel, good ride quality. These were on my 2013 Tiguan.

My MKVI came with the Continental Procontact tires. I have 37k miles on them and found that after 30k miles, the noise, especially on concrete got pretty loud. The ride was relatively good and not too stiff though.
