Tires Continental or DUNLOP

I’m a Continental Michelin tire guy. I have the extreme contacts on my ZL1 camaro and they handle great for the buck.

These tires are way quieter, stiffer on turns and gives me slightly better range (was at 340kwh now at 300kwh)

I used them both on street and track on a gsxr600. I loved them for dry weather sporty street riding. On sunny track days, the rear overheats after a couple of laps and the grip noticeable reduces, but even then the rear is still very controllable and completely safe. No warmers needed and excellent wear.

Wear and tear on the track is tires and brake pads. My OEM Conti tires lasted 3 track days and 4650 miles, instead of the 10k miles they are rated for. Learn how to inspect your pads visually so you can see how much material is left.

I just did exactly what you're doing -- exact same tires -- and found the Continental every bit as good as the Michelin, so I went with Continental, only in 255s in my case. Anyway, I'm really happy with my Continentals and glad I made that choice. Considering the stiffer ride that comes with wider tires the 18 Continentals proved a good choice. The handling is way better; love it.

I was torn between these two myself but went with the dw06 because of all the reviews saying that the pilot sports wear out fast. The dw06 is quiet and great in the rain so I think I made the right choice.

Continental PureContact LS. Also have them on my A3 Etron. The tires were less expensive and have much better grip and handling. They also are quieter and longer lasting.

Why is Continental nowhere on this chart?

I have their tires in all my cars and they are pretty good

The Conti’s were smooth, but their steering feel was just too soft and mushy for me, if that makes sense. The Michelins are a perfect balance, I feel.

Have the same bubble issue on my 2021 Arteon, 5800 miles, front passenger side.
