Tires Continental or DUNLOP

I've run my MK7 GTI with stock ContinentalProContact all-seasons (came with the car) on the stock Austins; and then with wider wheels and 235/40/18 PSS. Huge difference in wheel spin for the same throttle setting/gear.

Get rid of the p zeros and go with the continental all seasons, I did and love it

I have been using the same Continental Extreme Contact DW and separate winter tires for a year and a half and they have outstanding grip in wet and dry, are quite and wear is OK too.

Same for winter tires, where I've owned Michelin, Pirelli and Continental ExtremeWinterContact, and by far I like the Conti's followed by Michelin and I'll never own another set "ever" of the Pirelli Sottozero.

I have ContiExtremeContact summer tires on my TDI (now at 60,000 miles), and expect to get at least 30,000 - 35,000 miles on them.

Having had the PureContacts for a week or two now....AWESOME decision (235/45/18) Fuel economy started going up right away on the MFD. (I'm not saying it's accurate, but if that went up...something obviously changed) The ride is awesome and they are quiet Glad I went with them :thumbup:

Dunlop SportMaxx RT. Best bang for buck IMO.

That being said, I find continentals are pretty great for the money.

I think the dunlops will wear out faster than the michelin , in my experience .

I know the OP has already purchased tires, but I figured I'd share my experience with the Conti DWS's. The (soon to be) wife had them on her MKIV Jetta (225/45/R17) and they were SUPER soft. Really caused a lot of bounce in the car.
