Tires Continental or BRIDGESTONE

I'm currently running continental premium contact 5's on my C30. They do certainly grip well! My only minor gripe with them is that the sidewall seems a little stiff for the suspension

The OEM Dunlops and Falkens are absolutely rubbish and needs to be replaced to get a true sense of ride and handling of the mazda6. I replaced by Dunlops at around 18k miles with Conti DWS 06 and it completely transformed my car.

I’ve driven an AWD crossover with Continental True Contacts in deep heavy snow without issue.

If you want the best, Michelin X-Ice are considered the best for icy conditions and Bridgestone Blizzaks are the best for deeper snow. I'm on my 2nd set of Blizzaks and I loooovvee them. I get excited when it snows hard so I can get some snow driving and hand brake turns in.

Continental makes some of the best product in the industry and is very high quality

Continental is the far superior tire if the cotinental is also a winter tire. The studded Westlake may out perform the conti on glare ice and hard packed snow for the first season, maybe 2, but the continental will last longer and out perform the Westlake in just about every other way.

I run the Contis ECS and love them.

I had Continental Extreme Contact Sports on my STI, they were great.

My Continental Pure Contact all seasons are not awesome in snow. My Gislaved Nordfrost tires are.

Hit a pothole on the right side and replaced those with another brand (different from the stock Continentals, moved the Continentals to the front... and anything above 35 MPH the traction control light would flash. Anything above 55, I could very distinctly feel the car sliding all over the lane. It was very unsettling. I went back, returned the new ones, and bought the stock Continentals.
