Tires Continental or FULDA

You can have max comfort, control, or max speed, but not all three. I’ve run conti GPS both 32(tubeless) and 28 (tubes) and prefer the 32s. The speed difference if any is negligible, but I definitely notice a difference in comfort and grip.

I am about a week in on these new tires and they feel much smoother than the Michelins did. Not as rough over bumps and potholes, and less road noise.

Eventually I got a set of Continental Kryptotal Fr/Re in 2.4" trail casing and endurance compound, and I haven't looked back since. The knobs are massive, and yet they roll super fast and grip super well. They perform so well in every metric that it just doesn't make sense, but I'll take it!

So far I love these new Continentals.

I always get Continental's "control contact sport SRS+" for my 1st gen. Not the most expensive, but I wouldn't describe it as shoestring either.

I’d go with the Blizzaks. I’ve also driven them on a CX-5 but went with Continental VikingContact 7 on my CX-5 and they’re incredible in every aspect.

Personally I went with the Continental Pure Contact LS tires. You do take a hit on efficiency, but it's much better in the rain and snow and wears much better as well. I have 25k miles on mine now and they look like they will last at least another 75k miles.

That is exactly what I did. I am running 18x8.5 +45 with 235/45/18 Conti DWS06. Very happy with my decision.

I’ve had Contis Pro Contacts on 2 cars and I loved them! I did have 2 bubbles through the their wear.

No. Continental made terrible tires in IMSA. Michelin came in this year and records were set at every single track in nearly every class.
