Tires Continental or DEBICA

I have ridden GP5000 25c for several thousand miles. Front tire is at 90 PSI, rear at 100. Rides smooth and I haven’t had a flat but once when I clearly deserved it ( smashed a pothole at speed, probably lucky I didn’t break my rim)

After replacing 3 Toyo’s with bubbles I went with Conti DWS +. Handle potholes way better and better grip in bad weather.

I have ContiProContact tires for my R-60. I most definitely purchased Run Flats as they were the “MINI Approved” tires suggested by service guy at the MINI dealership.

Personally I would recommend the Continental EXTREME CONTACT DWS 06. They are as good if not better than Michelin Pilot Super Sport.

Continental Terrain Contact AT. Best tire I ever owned. Even better than General Grabbers

The other snow tire I used in my 14 years of driving is a Continental Winter Contact SI which was excellent on highway winter driving but not as good for snowy road driving.

I got a set of Continental Viking Contact 7 tires for my Impreza last winter when the shop didn't have Blizzaks in my size and I couldn't be happier with them.

I’m running continental extreme contact DWS06 ran me about $150 per tire.

I did switch out the stock rubber to DWS06 @ the 12k mark and lost a little on the responsiveness on the onset. Now, as the tires have warn, it has gotten a little better, but still not as nice as the stock rubber. Hope this helps.

Just in case anyone is wondering ContiWinterContact TS810 S are the worst snow tires you can buy. I've got them on my car and as soon as snow hits they feel like worn-out all seasons. I think they were only designed for cold dry autobahns, not actual snow. Horrible.
