Tires Continental or Barum

I think the comfort of the 17" DWS06 is my favorite of the lot, so much so I sold the 18" Neuspeed RSE10's wrapped in PSAS4's on my Alltrack and am replacing them with 17" Neuspeed RSE05's wrapped in 235/45/17 DWS+.

Based on the above comment you will love the Conti's Really giving up very little except at the extreme limits Tire wear is excellent and they perform great in the wet which in my opinion is the most important performance criteria

I have ridden GP5000 25c for several thousand miles. Front tire is at 90 PSI, rear at 100. Rides smooth and I haven’t had a flat but once when I clearly deserved it ( smashed a pothole at speed, probably lucky I didn’t break my rim)

After replacing 3 Toyo’s with bubbles I went with Conti DWS +. Handle potholes way better and better grip in bad weather.

I have ContiProContact tires for my R-60. I most definitely purchased Run Flats as they were the “MINI Approved” tires suggested by service guy at the MINI dealership.

Personally I would recommend the Continental EXTREME CONTACT DWS 06. They are as good if not better than Michelin Pilot Super Sport.

Continental Terrain Contact AT. Best tire I ever owned. Even better than General Grabbers

The other snow tire I used in my 14 years of driving is a Continental Winter Contact SI which was excellent on highway winter driving but not as good for snowy road driving.

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.

I know the OP has already purchased tires, but I figured I'd share my experience with the Conti DWS's. The (soon to be) wife had them on her MKIV Jetta (225/45/R17) and they were SUPER soft. Really caused a lot of bounce in the car.
