Tires Continental or Goodyear

I lived in Chicago and had a summer/all season rotation on my tuned M240i, RWD. Never had any issues on my Continental DWS06 in winter once the roads were treated. They handled snow fine as any RWD, 400hp car should.

So glad I made the move. The scorpions were awful and loud. Very happy with our GYs and they still look more like an AT but we have definitely had an efficiency increase

I did upgrade the tires to a quieter Continentals, from the standard issue goodyear. Its quiet, smooth, comfortable on the 4800 mile trip I took.

I've run the DWS06 all seasons in winter with no problems.

I run continental viking contact 7s. love em.

DWS06+ is a great choice for A/S IMO. I think I prefer them over actual summers as a daily tire for summer as well: better tread life, better ride, nicely communicative, & plenty of grip for open road endeavors IME.

Conti’s DWS 06. Quieter ride so far I found them to be better than the original Perelli that came with the vehicle that said I do live in upstate New York and haven’t tested them in the snow, but I’ve had them since March and I couldn’t be happier.

I just put the Enduro soft Kryptotal Fr and Re on and totally agree with your impression, they grip well but man are they noticeably slower than other similar tires. In my case Exo+ DHF and DHRs. I honestly don't know that the grip is worth it. I'm definitely not improving my time uphill or downhill.

I hated the Eagle RS-A that came stock on my '01 Jetta. Noisy, terrible traction, and fast wearing.

Goodyear tires SUCK. Every Goodyear I've ever run - from trailers, cars and trucks - had a blowout. Not just flat, they EXPLODED.
