Tires Continental or DUNLOP

17" VW/Ronal Sima with Dunlop Wintersport 4D. Really happy with this combo.

When it's time to replace my all seasons, I will likely be going with Nokian WRG. I had older generation Conti DWS on my gti and while they were great, the snow traction was only on the first 10k miles of tread. I hear the current Continental DWS 06 are better.

No complaints from the lo pro Continentals so far.

I live in Vancouver as well, and went up to Whistler/Squamish/Cypress in the snow last winter with my R equipped with my "winter" setup of Conti DWS 06 and it was more than fine. She handled it like a champ.

The continental tires ride real quite for their size.

So I have 2800km on mine, mixed city and highway. I have just under 9/32 on the front and just over 9/32 in the rear. These again are the continental 5P new they have 10/32.

my Contipros are great at 34 psi

Mine came with ContiProContact rubber. I ran them at 34-35 psi instead of 37, on a stock suspension. A quiet, and compliant tire. Good for general street use and on the highway. They also worked well in the snow, to my surprise.

They did fine, not a great performing tire but for the price they aren't bad at all.

My biggest gripe was that you can't tell how much life it has left in the rear, since it had a smooth center. I just noticed mine showed cords one day.

After a week with the DWS, I've decided to replace them with the OEM version of Pirelli all seasons. The DWS on my car aren't "loud", but the noise they do give off (high pitched whine) drives me nuts at highway speed.
