Tires Continental or BRIDGESTONE

I've been very impressed with the EV's performance in the snow. I'm running 15" Continental ContiWinter Contact snow tires, and use them year-round since I don't put many miles on during the summer months.

Knowing this, and having been uninspired by Michilen X-Ices I tried out Continentals Extreme Winter contacts last year. They have about 80-90% of the traction of the Bridgestones, but their compond wears longer, doesn't feel as squirmy as the softer Bridgestones. They even feel pretty good when its dry out.

Here's what a 245/40-17 Bridgestone RE11 looks like after 18mths on the R - over 200 autox runs and 8k street miles. I run 40-44 PSI hot on a well setup car. Note that there's minimal indication of excessive scrub or rollover. These tires are wearing great and were good enough for top pax time in a 60 car field at a recent local event

Got a set of Continental Extreme Contact DW tires a few months ago.. great tires and highest ranked on Tire Rack.

I just put on Bridgestone RE760 Sport's on my car about 250km's ago. I was looking for exactly what you are, good treadlife and good all-around performance for the occasional track day... I cannot say enough good things about this tire, it meets and exceeds all expectations that i have had thus far; and with 340 treadwear i expect these 205/40's to last for a good amount of time. You can't go wrong with this tire!

I replaced my tires with some Continental ExtremeContact DW's in that size today and I'm very happy with them.

For winter I'm running Conti DWS on 17's and they've performed well. In snow my only limitation has been ground clearance.

i ordered some of the continental DWS's...all the reviews have them tops for all season and 50k warranty!

True dat. Contis ( ) + US spec ride height = GTI loses the armchair racer wars.

Our egg came with Wranglers. They were so noisy and rode so harshly that I replaced them with Bridgestone Dueler Alenzas at 800 miles. Love the new Bridgestones!
