Tires Continental or DUNLOP

I have the Continental VikingContact7 winter tires and I couldnt be happier. They have kept me out of some sticky situations.

I have non studded Conti Viking and it's perfect. It can also be a handful to drive, It moves under throttle, slides left and right. To me, this is not a drawback, it makes it fun. But, it's 5 in the morning, going to work half asleep, and you have a hard time accelerating at green lights getting passed by Yaris's, it can suck. I have a 15 min commute it's OK, wouldn't spend my day in it. On back roads it's a charm. I would not let my mother drive it in the snow, you have to be on your A game.

I put a set of Continental TrueContact Tour on our 2016 about this time last year and so far so good. They do OK in the snow (we don’t get a lot or heavy) and I don’t think they are noisy compared to the Yokohamas that were on them before. We put a lot of highway miles on them and they handle well in the rain. Pacific Northwest, so I worry more about driving in the rain over other conditions.

I went with continental DWS06+ and I like them, went from rt660s to them and you can definitely tell a big difference in grip but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be

(2014 Audi AllRoad) I had the Quatrac Pro for 4 years. For dry, wet and winter traction as well as noise and tread wear, they beat the Continental Pro Contacts that preceded them.

I've had them for about 10k miles now and they are fantastic.

I've run various versions of the Contis including the EC Sports & DWS 06+. Don't get me wrong, they are fantastic tires, but they do have drawbacks. I don't like how soft the sidewalls are, the tire profile isn't that appealing, tire dressing smears on the sidewalls leaving streaks, and they don't have a treadwear warranty (summer tires). If you are in an area where you are able to run summers year round, there is no reason not to do it other than sacrificing a tiny bit of tread life. Contis also don't seem to balance up as well as some of the other premium brands. I've had more issues with vibrations from Conti tires than I have from some others.

The black edition is the same as the regular gatorskins. They're pretty much all I ride, it's not grippy in the wet nor the most comfortable and its rolling resistance is twice that of GP5000's.

Every time this is question is posted, I have the same answer: Gatorskins suck, by the Conti 4 seasons. Yes gator skins are tough, but they also feel like they're made of soap when cornering in the wet. 4 Seasons are *so* much more supple.
