Tires Continental or Barum

I got the continental extreme contact dws before the 06 and plus version. At the time, they were the best all season tire. You could get better dry traction and better sno/wet traction but not both. Since then they have only gotten better.

I have a set of Continental DWSs and they are fantastic. Excellent grip in all conditions including snow and ice. Insane for all weather tires. Plus they're quite on the highway.

Not having experienced the Generals, but having had both the Michelins and the Continentals on my car, I'd overall give the pick to the Continentals due to the price difference. The Michelins were great, but overall don't think I compromised at all with the Contis. They ride quiet enough, grip well enough and don't make excessive noise.

I loved them too until I got DWS06+. Slightly less grip but the comfort went up a couple of levels. I can whisper and my passenger can hear me. The AS4s were so loud and my IS350 is staggered so can't rotate.

I’ve had AS4 and now have DWS06+. The Conits have 90% of the sportiness but way better in terms of noise and comfort. Both have really good absolute grip levels so that’s kind of a wash. It’s more about feel than true limits.

Continental DWS 06 Plus is also an amazing A/S tire and more reasonably priced than the Michelins. I've put 20,000 miles on my SQ5 with them. Still quiet, great ride, handle excellent in the wet and dry. Until something better comes along, it's the only tire I'll buy.

I buy all my GP5000s from AliExpress. They weigh the same, feel the same and lasted me 3000-4000 km before I have to change them just like the “originals” I bought from a reputable bike shop.

Continental P7. Dugotrajnije, i tiše od ostalih navedenih. A u budžetu si.

I had this same model on my prior VAG vehicle (in 245/40R19) and pretty typical for OEM tires: smooth ride, reasonably quiet, handles ok (both dry & wet), and can cope with an early- or late-season light snow when you're caught unexpectedly w/o your winter or all-weather tires.

I think the ProContacts are known to be junk. I upgraded to Continental DWS. If those fail, I'm switching brands for life.
