Tires Continental or DEXTER

i just got a set of continentals in june and i am in love. prior to this, i had dunlops (original set) and i think yokohama after that. i hated them both. slid in the rain all the time. came here for a recommendation and saw lots of praise for the contis. so glad i found them.

I'm very happy with the Contis!

I've had the Contis on my Hatch for two years now and they're worth every penny.

I loved conti 'der kaisers' they have huge paddles for braking, and 13 side knobs for every 11 maxxis side knob. They seem similar to a dhr2 with the whole paddle thing goin on...

Continental dws06-plus. Great value. Good tread life and they grip the road when you need it to

Conti PureContact here. Great all seasons, awesome in the rain.

Yep, another recommendation for the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06+. I have these on my TT, and my son has them on his R32 and GTI. I really like them. My next tires for my Dodge will likely be these tires. They are great in the rain and dry, they're not loud, and they are decent in light snow, but they are certainly not snow tires.

I had a set of Contis on my mk4 GTI and did a track day with them and they did great.

Not too sure if the continental are especially weak on the sidewalls, but I blistered 2 tires in a single summer + a leak on a third one. I'm a "careful" driver when it comes to preserving the integrity of my car lol. Montreal, Canada, is known for its ****ty road quality... So yeah, these tires are super easy to damage!

I have never been a fan of Conti tires, especially anything with "ContiSport" in its name. They come OE on many German marques, and I can't for the life of me figure out WHY other than some smoking back room deal hammered out over loads of pharmaceuticals in the wee hours of the morning. My MK6 felt like a cement truck with its OE Contis. They would flat spot in what seemed like 120 seconds, noisy as all get out and lasted 1/3 of the claimed milage. Ive permanently deformed Contis on my old 05 E55 by just hitting a small chuck hole or bump. This is anecdotal evidence at best, but my money is on the tires being deformed, belt shift or what ever the excuse of the day is.
