Tires Continental or DUNLOP

Dunlop SportMaxx RT2

I paid about $65 per tire (225/40/18) + shipping and then had a local tire shop mount them. They have been great in all conditions (N. Carolina) during the 8,000mi they’ve been on.

I have continental extreme contact are around $170 and I like them.

I’ve have Continental DWS06 Plus’s on my WRX for 3.5 years and haven’t slid in the snow once. I live in Western Pa and get about 27-35 inches of snow a year.

I have some Continental VikingContact 7s and they seem to be doing pretty good in Wisconsin snow.

Continental Extreme Contact 2. It's EXACTLY what my NB needed.

Continental ECS 02. 205/50-15. $140 each.

Even though a 340 rating they bite hard and still do quite well with cooler weather and light rain.

All season continental.

I had Dunlops on my ML and found they wore quickly. I went back to Continental ContiTrac.

It’s definitely the crap tires. Same on my ‘25 Rogue. Bought with my 3 miles of test drive on 1/3/25… now at 18k hwy miles the tread wear indicators are showing. I think they will need replaced at 20k.

In contrast - 2 of them were slashed at 1k miles. I replaced those two with Goodyear MaxLife. 17k miles later, the Dunlops are almost gone, the Goodyears show little to no wear whatsoever.

Dunlop Grandtek PT21’s are TOTAL CRAP.

I put a driveway stone through a continental tire. Never again. They have lost something. Used to be a good tire. Not any more.
