Tires Continental or Laufenn

I’ve have Continental DWS06 Plus’s on my WRX for 3.5 years and haven’t slid in the snow once. I live in Western Pa and get about 27-35 inches of snow a year.

I have some Continental VikingContact 7s and they seem to be doing pretty good in Wisconsin snow.

Continental Extreme Contact 2. It's EXACTLY what my NB needed.

Continental ECS 02. 205/50-15. $140 each.

Even though a 340 rating they bite hard and still do quite well with cooler weather and light rain.

All season continental.

I have run DWS06+'s all year long on my dailies for years... They are unbeatable. I currently have a GR Corolla with them and it doesn't matter what season or what the conditions are... It crushes it.

I was running Conti ECS 02s on my just recently traded in 2022 GT RF and they were fantastic. Can’t wait to put those on my 2025 RF Club as soon as I need tires. Huge difference in both wet and dry. Coming from 2 sets on Michelin pilot sports and 2 sets of pilot sport 4s on my old Stage 3 8V Audi S3 and the Conti’s are very very similar to me in what I do as far as aggressive driving.

I’ll put a vote in for conti extreme contact sports, the car feels so good on the 2 sets I’ve been through so far.

Only downside is that they seem to wear somewhat quickly, my last set only lasted me like 12k, but it being my fun car, it pretty much only sees fairly hard use

Love the DWS

They wear down fast though

A Laufenn tire may be made by Hankook, but it isn't the quality level of Hankook and isn't just the same tire with a different name on the side of it. I heard a Hankook rep joke he wouldn't put Laufenn tires on his ex-wifes car because they were just that bad.
