Tires Continental or Cooper

The stock kinergys are quite bad new and once they start approaching 1/2 life left, became honestly dangerous in the rain from my experience. I replaced them with Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+’s well before the tires were worn out and haven’t looked back. 100% worth it.

These days I prefer the Cooper Discoverer Enduramax. Sturdier construction for rough roads, better in rain and snow in my experience, and bit nicer ride. They’re stiff enough for good handling but still absorb bumps well. At first they were a bit noisy on rougher surfaced roads, but certainty not obnoxiously so. Seemed to get quieter after some wear. Fuel economy stayed the same as the OEM tires but much better traction.

Also, I run Continental Race Kings in 29x2.2.

I’ve been very happy with the Continental TrueContacts on two different cars. Good tread life and performance.

Also I live in the Northeast, around Philly, so I needed something with decent all season traction. Conti has been great. And very good wear rating .

I just put 4 255/45R19's Cooper pro controls on my 2015 ford taurus limited. I live in Wisconsin and it's winter so I got to test them in the snow. Not bad for all seasons. I've driven with Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires and they're for sure not at that level but good enough grip, I felt confident ish in deep snow.

Dws 06+ bro. I praise them forever. Had them on my Elantra, our Mazda 3, and our Wrx

Continental DWS 06+ I have them on a Porsche Cayman and they are fantastic in all 4 seasons.

cooper tires are great, firestones will ride like shit (i have all season firestones ._.)

I'm disliking mine. Could have been a suspension problem initially. But at 65-75/80 the steering wheel shakes. Still travels straight, but the annoyance of seeing/feeling it shake is terrible.
