Tires Continental or Firestone

I've enjoyed the "garbage" Indy 500s on my Challenger since shortly after I bought it, but they're getting up there in age and will be replaced in the spring. Quite possibly with another set. Had another tire in mind as a potential contender, but now I can't remember which one. That car is used for hauling butt on curvy roads, has never been driven in rain, but on hard packed snow. Then the Firestones are all but useless. And I'm sure that worn ones can be interesting in rain. I have DWS06s on a couple of vehicles and really like them, but if not driving on snow the DW version would be fine for me. They really impressed me on wet pavement, although that was years ago and tire offerings have changed.

I had Continental DWS 06+ on my 2023 BRZ with a different wheelset and was extremely happy with them. I specifically tested them for grip in the wet and they were way better than the summer performance Michelin those cars come with as standard.

I went from the stock Firestone Destination M/T on my Willys Sport to the Continental TerrainContact A/T and they’re fantastic. My job changed and I have to highway drive about 100 miles round trip everyday. It was a huge difference. Quiet, great ride (for a Gladiator) and my mpg improved, I regularly get 22-23 on the highway with occasional 24-25 vs the sub 20 on the M/Ts. I can’t speak to the off-road element on these, I haven’t had an opportunity. Give them a look.

I bought Continental DWS06+, Honestly way too much tire for the car but I can go flat out around pretty much any wide corner and Ive developed a bad habit of braking too late because my tires are grippier than your mom.

I'm based in Toronto, Canada, and I have two sets of wheels for my 2024 GTI. The summer set consists of 17 inch wheels with Conti Extreme Contact II tires. These are pure summer tires, very quiet and excellent traction.

17 inch borbets and 215/50R17 Firestone Winterforce 2 good solid winter tire had them on my veloster as well.

Firestone all the way! Their Destination AT/2s are great tires. Look nice & ride nice.

Firestone Destination LE3s are amazing! They are more of a highway type tread, so if you're looking for a more aggressive tread pattern, check out their other tires. Firestone All-Seasons are a well-handling option for wet and dry conditions.

I have them, I have a couple hundred miles on them and no issues. My experience however, keep them on pavement, I tried going over some light gravel to take a break and they slipped quite a bit.

That said continental trail/endurance casing is shit and probably worst tires I’ve ever had on wet roots/rocks.
