Tires Continental or DUNLOP

16X7 MSW Type Silver Rims 205/55R Dunlop SP Winter Sport 4D Tires Used on a 2012 GLI

I kept my stock Dunlops for about a year & they did well for me on/off road & with snow.

The stock tires suck. They last less than 20k miles on my Mazda, so I opted for the Continental DWS06+, which have been fantastic.

Others have recommended it the Conti Extreme Contact Sport (and Sport 2) are great tires for dry but one of the best wet tires as well. It out performs the Michelin in the Wet by a noticable amount with the current compounds

If you’re gonna be “cheap” and just run all seasons, I got no complaints with the Continental Extremecontact DWS 6

I'm currently running continental premium contact 5's on my C30. They do certainly grip well! My only minor gripe with them is that the sidewall seems a little stiff for the suspension

The OEM Dunlops and Falkens are absolutely rubbish and needs to be replaced to get a true sense of ride and handling of the mazda6. I replaced by Dunlops at around 18k miles with Conti DWS 06 and it completely transformed my car.

I’ve driven an AWD crossover with Continental True Contacts in deep heavy snow without issue.

I had this same model on my prior VAG vehicle (in 245/40R19) and pretty typical for OEM tires: smooth ride, reasonably quiet, handles ok (both dry & wet), and can cope with an early- or late-season light snow when you're caught unexpectedly w/o your winter or all-weather tires.

About 2 years ago I had 4 Dunlop Conquest Touring tires installed on my 2015 Passat. About 5 months ago, less than 15,000 miles we noticed a groaning sound coming from the passenger side rear. I had all 4 tires rotated and now the noise is coming from the passenger side front. This was more annoying than having the groaning noise come from the rear so we had them rotated back again. The \"dealer\" said it was due to cupping and that's common with Dunlop.
