Tires Continental or Kormoran

I have ContiProContact tires for my R-60. I most definitely purchased Run Flats as they were the “MINI Approved” tires suggested by service guy at the MINI dealership.

Personally I would recommend the Continental EXTREME CONTACT DWS 06. They are as good if not better than Michelin Pilot Super Sport.

Continental Terrain Contact AT. Best tire I ever owned. Even better than General Grabbers

The other snow tire I used in my 14 years of driving is a Continental Winter Contact SI which was excellent on highway winter driving but not as good for snowy road driving.

I got a set of Continental Viking Contact 7 tires for my Impreza last winter when the shop didn't have Blizzaks in my size and I couldn't be happier with them.

I’m running continental extreme contact DWS06 ran me about $150 per tire.

What a difference with the Contes….sooo much quieter. Could be the excitement, but I feel like it’s a bit flatter in the turns.

2013 limited eco AWD on Conti DWS06. I came from an Audi A4 Quattro on Blizzaks in the winter. The Flex ain’t the Audi but it’s pretty good.

I did switch out the stock rubber to DWS06 @ the 12k mark and lost a little on the responsiveness on the onset. Now, as the tires have warn, it has gotten a little better, but still not as nice as the stock rubber. Hope this helps.

I know the OP has already purchased tires, but I figured I'd share my experience with the Conti DWS's. The (soon to be) wife had them on her MKIV Jetta (225/45/R17) and they were SUPER soft. Really caused a lot of bounce in the car.
