Tires Continental or Cooper

the grip is unreal compared to my old tires. Tires - $611 shipped (Continental Extremecontact DW 235-40-18, TireBuyer.com)

Recommend a switch to "Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring" tires. I have a 2011 Tiguan SE. Replaced my stock 17-inch Continentals after 7,500 miles because they were too noisy and I had 2 flats within a month. Did considerable research on all-weather tires before I settled on the Cooper CS5 . . a new unique tread design and rubber compounds. There was a 100% improvement in my SUV's handling, as well as a soft, quiet ride. Now have 54k on this SUV, and my W-rated tires remain almost like new.

I personally love it and it works very well. Tires are Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 225/40ZR18

I've been running continental contiprocontact, decently priced and great grip. They do me wonders in the rain.

I'm running Continental PureContacts which are an all season touring tire on the mk4. In rain they grip like a bitch. In icy conditions they grip like a bitch. In loose dirt, decomposed granite etc etc they grip like a bitch. They are phenomenal

I just installed the P7 Cinturato on mine a few days ago (235 45 18). They ride nice and handled the rain well. I had Continental PureContact w/Eco Plus for the last 40k. Those were excellent and still had 4/32 - 5/32.

I run the continental DW on my RC's and all I gotta say is I love them. It has a nice ride and they stick like no other!

My 2010 Golf TDI came from Germany with Continental tires and they were great in the rain.

My Conti's sound like a 4x4 going down the road
