Tires Continental or Cooper

The Continental DWS series tires are very popular with this car. I've been running them for around 3 years now and have zero complaints. They are excellent in the rain.

I have the cooper discoverer atw tires on my truck. They are excellent and have 80k tread warranty. They are not quite as good stopping as the Michelin xice tires on my wife's vehicle but miles better than mud and snow tires people drive around with here in the winter.

If you're interested in a good cheap winter tire the new Continental VikingContact 7's are super cheap on tire rack. I just got a set of four for $700 from Tire Rack and they handle great so far and are just as quiet (actually more so) than the stock 19's I had on before. Highly recommend them.

I ordered the Continental PureContact LS. Reasonable prices (I think they were 240 a piece with installation, tax, and balance from Discount Tire). No noticeable impact to rod noise or range. Supposed to be very good in all weather conditions and have a 70k mile warranty. Very smooth ride and definitely notice better handling in rain and the light snow we’ve had here.

Picked up some Conti Viking 7's from the dealer $1100 with steelies (tax included) for our GSW. The car is a beast with these new tires. So much traction!

I got a set of Continental Winter Contact SI from Canadian Tire. Pretty good tires imo.

I can’t speak for the Falken tires but I have Cooper Discoverer A/T’s and they’re amazing! had em for a year now and they still look brand new

I had them on my G. I liked them. They had great grip but were really comfortable. Only downside was a lack of steering feel, which I think was partly the car too. For a street car, soft sidewalls are good IMO.

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

Stock Contis are history at 30K The roaring inside the cabin due to cupping has become unbearable, so I wear foam earplugs and my shooting muffs over them.
