Rating 5.0

Ran Firestone on my old truck, same model number it came with. 65k, on the 1st set, 70k on the 2nd and had 65k on the 3rd set when I sold the truck.

Mostly highway driving, a lot of country roads. Tire pressure and regular rotation is what got me there.

Pros: high mileage, regular rotation
Mileage: 65000 km

Continental Tires

I finally decided to try out some tires that might be closer to a road tire... I decided on the Continental Contact Urban’s in 700x 42mm.

I did my first big commute on them last week, and also rode around town all weekend. I‘m super impressed! They roll very fast! Great grip cornering tightly on pavement and they don’t feel the least bit sketchy on gravel or dirt sections...On the sections where I usually average 13-15 mph, I was getting more like 14-17 mph...But overall, a noticeable improvement.

Pros: roll very fast, great grip
Cons: body feeling more jarred

The continental extreme contact sport dws06+ is grippy enough for spirited summer driving and handles well in snow. Not as good as a snow tire but as good as you can get with an a/s. Highly recommend

Pros: grippy, handles well
Cons: not as good in snow
Vehicle: Audi S4

Continental ExtremeContact DWS06. It’s Continental’s premium all-season tires. I’ve had them now for two years and they have been excellent.

Pros: excellent, premium all-season
Vehicle: Audi A3

Continental is frequently "second place" to Michelin in many categories (follow up on Tire Rack, and look their comparison guides), but they also cost like 80% of Michelin's price almost every time. They are never more expensive in the same category. Really good tires.

Pros: really good tires
Cons: second place to Michelin

the DWS06+ are only good in the snow for the first half of their life, after that the snow performance falls of a cliff.

Pros: good in snow initially
Cons: snow performance degrades

They're notoriously bad tires. Slow and slippery, and the puncture protection isn’t even that great, so they’re mostly overpriced.

Cons: slow, slippery, overpriced
