Tires Continental or Cooper

For anyone finding this thread I've gotten some decent miles on the Kryptotal now on a variety of trails and am loving it. I'm riding Kryptotal FR Enduro Soft front and Xynotal Enduro Soft rear and can't believe the difference from the T9 Butcher that I still had on the front. Faster, grippier, and I have way more confidence they're going to stick.

You’ll notice a difference. On a gentle downhill with me running the previous GP4000, I’ve coasted past my boss who was on Gatorskins and pedaling. The 5000 has perceptibly better rolling resistance than the 4000.

I'm running Continental PureContact LS 195/55R-16. Massive improvement in wet and dry grip over the stock Hankook.

Continental Viking Contact 7 on VW wheels. They are great snow tires, quiet on dry roads but very effective on ice and snow.

We just replaced the stock Yokos with Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail ATs. Don't have a lot of miles on them yet but they're quiet so far and have performed well in the rain.

For the Pacific NW USA, where it rains a lot, I keep coming back to Continental CrossContacts. Tire Rack ranked them highly for rain (my #1 priority) and very high just about every other category.

The Continental is the best there all round and would be my choice.

For stock suspension and even lowered 15mm on coilovers, I have really enjoyed my DWS06+ 235/45/18’s. They ride great, handle better than any all season tire I’ve ever run, and have smashed some serious potholes on the rare occasion that I can’t avoid them.

Last tires I got bought were Conti Extreme Contacts which I’m impressed with and are known as some of the best on the market. Probably not as quiet as the Michelin primacy I have on another vehicle but performance feels not quite as good in bad conditions as the Contis

I had continental on mine from the factory. They were also grossly over inflated. Despite adjusting the pressure they wore out in 13k
