Tires Continental or BRIDGESTONE

Continental Tires

NorCal Chassis Works in Fairfield is an excellent local shop that I have patronized in the past, and happens to be a TireRack recommended installer. I ordered 4 Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 in 225/40/18 and had them delivered to the shop.

Pros: excellent local shop
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I just put these on our Commodore in 245/45R18. They replaced a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE003's. Initial impression is that they aren't any noisier than the Potenza's, possibly a bit quieter. Haven't driven in a heavy rain yet but the performance on slick roads was also good. My biggest concern is that they were going to totally spoil the handling but cornering at civilised speeds is still satisfying. Certainly they don't have anywhere near the dry grip of the Potenza's but they're fine for everyday use.

Pros: good performance on slick roads
Cons: less dry grip

Not AT, but as soon as I get another 10K on the stock tires, I'm switching to Continental DWS. Had them on my '14 Accord Sport stick, and they were fantastic in Snow, bet they're great with AWD.

Pros: fantastic in snow
Mileage: 10000 km

They ride great, have great traction in wet weather and do not seem to exhibit excessive wear. Well priced compared to Bridgestones and I have no complaints.

Pros: great ride, great traction
Cons: excessive wear

They felt so sketchy I went out and dropped 800 on continentals and I can barely make them break traction and can corner way harder. Feel more planted and safe.

Pros: planted, safe, corner harder
Cons: sketchy

BRIDGESTONE Tires

Bridgestone WeatherPeak is fine, but it's one of the most expensive tires, and Tire Rack's testing shows it wasn't that good.

Cons: expensive, not that good

I am still not impressed with these tires. I'm just about to hit 14k miles on these tires and they are some of the worst tires I've had. Definitely going to replace them before winter. We average 6-8 inches of snow every winter and these tires are like race slicks in the snow.

Cons: worst tires, like slicks
Mileage: 22530 km
