Tires Continental or IRONMAN

Just upgraded from the stock Toyos to the Continental DWS06+, first time I’ve went for some premium tires and the difference is night and day. The way you feel planted to the ground is next level compared to stock, even more so in the rain.

Trust me... okay... I know way too much about tires... my close friend is the owner of Wheel wiz... go for the Viking Contact 7... the only disadvantage is slightly slower braking on wet/dry/ice.... bad ice will take out literally any car... which means what? It's a driver's judgment error, or you should have avoided driving that day altogether. The continental tire is considerably quieter. it has the vibration and shaking. It will last longer. And when you're in SNOW it's actually much better than Blizzaks you will have the actual best lateral G control/turn-in out of any tire. You will have the best acceleration in any tire which translates to better fuel economy and being able to get out of the way of a slow-moving sliding vehicle faster in a sudden emergency maneuver getting movement going FAST can save the day. They really perform well in snow and they will be less expensive... just get continentals trust me and thank me later. much more enjoyable drive

I love my Conti Viking 7's. I'm in Eastern Ontario. Great in all conditions. Firm sidewalls...not marshmallowy(225 45 17). Low noise on bare pavement. Unreal treadware for a winter tire.

Heard great things about the Michelin Pilot, I personally went with Continental ExtrmeContact DWS06+ and vast improvement on ‘19 GLI.

I personally have gotten over 90k on a set of 4. I would’ve gotten more but I really like driving the family around safely! I had almost 1/8 of an inch before the tread wear indicators were visibly there. But the safety letter near the outer wall was almost gone.

I replaced my Ecopia’s with Continental CrossContact LX25 and loved them! They were quiet, wore slowly, great in all conditions (especially rain, snow, and ice)

I tried driving my 2022 on stock tires for a couple days in a Wisconsin winter and the car felt like it was on hockey pucks. If you can afford to do winter tires and summer tires, do it. Bridgestone Blizzak WS90’s and Michelin Ice-X’s are amazing tires in winter. If you want to do all seasons, I recommend Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 2’s or Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4’s for a more performance-oriented tire or Michelin CrossClimate2 tires for the best all-weather performance.

I had Continental 5000s on my bike at 28 mm, and I switched to 32s when the 28s got old after about 3000 or 4000 miles. I love the 32s.

I should add: they seem as fast and are very comfortable.

Normal GP5000s are great. Tubeless variant is a hell to get on the rim. To get tubeless tires on by hand, I go for Hutchinson tires

I got rid of the Continentals because the rubber was way too soft. I was always getting flats in those tires.
