Tires Continental or DUNLOP

Continental tires by chance?

I love the continentals, no matter the weather these things stay planted. Great grip and durability. I have bought 3 sets over the years and for my GTI it’s all I’ll buy.

I’m running Continental WinterContact TS 860S SSR snow tires in Maine. Made it 50-something miles to work Christmas Eve in at least 6” of unplowed snow out to the highway (including at least a 12” deep and wide bank at the end of the driveway with no momentum). Packed snow on the highway, and a fluffy snowbank as tall as the hood at the end of an off-ramp. That was just one of many adventures these tires have gotten me through between this winter and last.

Got myself Continental Viking Contact and they are the best overall (dry, wet, snow, ice, sound level and rolling resistance) while not much more than the prices you listed. Iv had my Viking Contact for 2 winters now and I love them!

I run mine with 35mm Continental Cyclocross speed tires but I bet a 38 would fit.

I got the continental this year and I really like those tires. I had put 11k on them and maybe they don’t last all warranty. But they said if they don’t last all, they give me credit for the remaining mileage to replace them with new ones. Which is great as I will pay less for a new set

My Conti's are also very good but do not inspire confidence at high speed turn rates when I cannot feel the breakaway point; makes me nervous, I want a smooth transition into a slide so I can control the location of my vehicle!

Corolla 49 k on dunlop got ok tread life still, did drive carefully

I have about 21k miles on the stock dunlops that came with the car when I bought it. The tires are already balding and one tire has a leak.

The continentals on my moms car started doing this, I have no idea why as well but they needed to be replaced anyway.
