Tires Continental or GENERAL TIRE

I have a set of Continental DWSs and they are fantastic. Excellent grip in all conditions including snow and ice. Insane for all weather tires. Plus they're quite on the highway.

I've got the Generals on my Jetta GLI. I had higher performance tires but kept getting bubbles on the awful New England roads. I'm pretty happy with them. You definitely give up a little bit of grip/road feel on dry roads but they're comfortable for daily driving and the value factor is nice. If you're looking for something that's going to suit you on a day-to-day or commuter type basis I'd recommend them.

I drive a Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and ran a set of General AltiMAX RT43s to 64,000 miles (3/32” remaining tread). Replaced with RT45s a year ago (13k miles) and they still look new.

Not having experienced the Generals, but having had both the Michelins and the Continentals on my car, I'd overall give the pick to the Continentals due to the price difference. The Michelins were great, but overall don't think I compromised at all with the Contis. They ride quiet enough, grip well enough and don't make excessive noise.

I loved them too until I got DWS06+. Slightly less grip but the comfort went up a couple of levels. I can whisper and my passenger can hear me. The AS4s were so loud and my IS350 is staggered so can't rotate.

I’ve had AS4 and now have DWS06+. The Conits have 90% of the sportiness but way better in terms of noise and comfort. Both have really good absolute grip levels so that’s kind of a wash. It’s more about feel than true limits.

Continental DWS 06 Plus is also an amazing A/S tire and more reasonably priced than the Michelins. I've put 20,000 miles on my SQ5 with them. Still quiet, great ride, handle excellent in the wet and dry. Until something better comes along, it's the only tire I'll buy.

Honestly? I've got nothing against Pirelli tires, but the Generals are would be my go to here... They are a better quality tires than those specific Pirellis... Ride better, be quieter, last longer...

Running Conti ExtremeContact DWS06+ on my A3. Tires have 15k mikes and have never curbed the wheels/tires. Tires have wear roughly halfway down the sidewall.

Have the same bubble issue on my 2021 Arteon, 5800 miles, front passenger side.
