Tires Continental or DEXTER

Recently replaced factory Goodyear with 20” Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS for about $1200. 3500 miles and they are great with minimal wear. Quiet with great wet and dry handling. 2021 MYLR.

I have the DWS 06 on my RS and I LOVE how they feel and drive.

I had ExtremeContacts on my golf and loved them except they didn’t last as long as I expected. Then I got Pilot Sport 4s since they were on sale at the same price as the contis. they’re a bit louder but a bit grippier.

I had a friend with Blizzacks on his WRX, and I put the equivalent Continental WinterContacts on my WRX. Mine wore less over time and I commuted more, were slightly cheaper at the time, and felt like they performed a little better.

Big fan of the Continent Winter Contacts for my Passat in 215 width. They were quite a bit less than Michelin's at the time. I'll buy them again.

I recommend Continentals. High quality tires, in general high lifespans and good grip. Good ride quality and low noise.

Ive used trail kings on my old 26 hardtail for many years. I think theyre actually pretty great. The black chili rubber coumpound is good, theyre such a nice blend of grip and rolling speed. They have held up and been pretty durable as well.

I have had the best luck w/ Michelin Pilot Sports or Super sports. I have had several sets of the Continental Sport Contacts on different cars including the Golf R and they seem to wear out early with noise and balance problems sooner than I would expect. I have never had a set last more than 20K miles before the tread was gone and/or they start having noise/balance issues. They are GREAT tires up until that point, but they don't last anywhere near their published treadlife rating.

Man I have this EXACT issue on my 2019 arteon, somewhere between 10k and 20k kms and Continental is telling me to fuck off.
