Tires Continental or Giti

I buy Michelin or Continental….if it’s a truck and I need off road tires I’ll consider BFG.

That’s the end of my list….Ive never had a blow out, never even had a flat that left me stranded (I know; this one’s got a component of luck too), but good tires wear better, I regularly get 50k miles out of those brands, and I usually change my tires around 40% left, so they’d easily go 70k miles.

Go for Giti or even their more popular variant in motorsports, GT Radial. They're pretty affordable and have been loving them on our Ranger.

I swapped my OEMs with [Continental ExtremeContact DWS-06 Plus](https://continentaltire.com/tires/extremecontact-dws06-plus). They're pretty good and highly recommended everywhere.

Tenho continental ultra contacto e tou mt satisfeito

At any rate, my mechanic recommeded Continental ProContatc.

The answer is conti premium contact 6, or yoko v105. Both good tyres but allow you to explore the limits without silly speeds and good feedback.

Conti ecs02. Upgraded from Bridgestone re97as a few days ago and haven’t had any wheel spin yet. I haven’t done a pull from a dig yet but leaned into first after about 2k rpm a few times and did rolling pulls and it’s been great. No wheel hop either. They do feel a lot firmer and you notice imperfection in the road a lot more. They also kick up rocks way more than touring all seasons.

I’ve had both the ECS02 and PS4S. I think it’s worth the extra cost. I prefer the ECS02. They have a softer side wall, aren’t as loud, and last longer than the PS4S. They provide about same amount of grip in my opinion as well. I care about comfort so the contis were my top choice.

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.

I have a similar issue with Continental CrossContact LX20 Eco+ tire on my Lexus. Without any impact or road hazard tire went flat at about 6k miles on my new car. Never seen a tire in such bad shape.
