Tires Continental or Cooper

I never hear much about this tire in the Subaru world but one of my favorites for a long time has been the Continental ExtremeContact™ DWS06 Plus

It is more of a sporty all season tire but always rates high in all areas. I live in the northeast and drive up to ski resorts frequently with no issues. I believe the CC2 may be rated slightly better in snow but only by a narrow margin.

replaced tires due to age, cracks with Continental ContiProContact - no more squeaks, nice grip

Had them on my MB C300 4matic. Little to no road noise, amazingly smooth ride, and were great in all conditions. Even snow.

These are on my truck right now. About 5k on them and I’ve had no issues. Grip is good on and off road. Ride is smooth. A little heavier than my stocks, so I’ve had a couple mpg loss, but other than that, I’m happy with them.

Ive been running 10 ply AT3s on mine for two years and i think they’re a great tire for the money. Winter performance leaves a little to be desired, but they’re good enough if you know how to handle. I never expect great winter performance from a 10 ply AT tire anyways.

These tires were already on my truck when I bought it used. Wish I had done more research and realized they were a Wal-mart exclusive.

I bought my truck in 2020 and had to replace my tires this year due to simple wear after putting another 50k miles on them.

They were fine through the freeze in TX (albeit, about as good as an all-terrain can be on snow/ice), and handled mud, dirt and overland without an issue.

I WISH my local discount tire still had cooper tires. Mine lasted 75k miles (4 years) before I had to replace them. I’m an average driver and get them rotated every 4/5 months so I wasn’t running bald. They gripped better on turns and we’re quieter (Honda civic)

I have the non Walmart at3’s and they are great , first time using them was when I was in Arkansas during an ice storm and they definitely were an improvement over the stock tires.

Maybe I'm just luck as far as flats go, but I've never really been pleased with the ride and grip trade off for something like the 4 Season compared to something more in the "performance" category.

Not caring about rolling resistance is one thing, but something like a GP5000 (or similar tire from whatever brand,) just rides better.

This happened to my 2021 Arteon (pointed out by others when I got a car wash) a few days ago. It was the front passenger side of the tire. Mileage on the car was about 9000 miles.
