Tires Continental or Laufenn

Had a set put on yesterday and so far compared to the foam lined continentals I feel like they are quieter and no more "can't patch because of foam bs".

After some research, I decided to give the Contis another try. Except this time, I went with the Trail casing in the Endurance compound out back and Soft in the front (Kryptotal Fr and Re again). Took them out on the trails this morning and it was an entirely different experience from my first one with Contis. They were fast, light, and still had that great traction I remembered. To my surprise, even with the lighter casing, the sidewalls were still nice and supportive. I even hit some chunky rock gardens and they held their line perfectly without pinging the rim.

This post was made last year. I am now in a new vehicle, again with DWS06+ now my 3rd car with them and they are by far my favorite tires I've ever ran. They're perfect for a DD imo. Perfect balance between performance longevity comfort and road noise.

On my MK7.5, I\u2019m currently running CONTINENTAL EXTREME CONTACT DWS 06 PLUS and absolutely love them! They\u2019re probably the best tires I\u2019ve run on the 4 GTIs I\u2019ve owned over the years!!! \ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udffe

Me and my friend both are using continental UC6 on our cars. It seems to work well both on my rapid and his 2017 city.

I have an xc90 which is also awd. Had a screw in the side and they just replaced that tyre. I only use continental which have excellent wear. I think the current set is at 80,000km

I've had Laufenn tyres and found them excellent.

Laufenn (produced by Hankook) serves me well. Bought 4 tires(205/50/16) from Hyperdrive for $600 2 years ago. Almost 20k on my honda jazz and still with heaps of thread left

No issues other than one blown front Conti tire after hitting a small pothole.

The service manager of my local tire dealership told me these Continental tires were great tires. Never had continental tires before. The first time there was a bubble on the sidewall of the tire of course they never told me about the warranty or the class action lawsuit over it. So I shelled out $350 to have it replaced. The second time it blew out by the same company who sold them to me but a different location. They told me it should be under warranty and it took a while, but they ended up having no charge But I had to pay the $35 warranty in case it happened again and the tire and balance along with it. Not too long after that tire had the same issue (bubble) luckily I've been through it before and got it replaced for free, but not after a bunch of jacking around and of course, my time my effort and waiting for them to do it and the balancing etc. fees Here I am in July 2024 and another bubble on the sidewall the tire. I'm furious. I called Continental and they basically said sorry they'll have to go through normal channels to see if it's warranted. Pretty much had a nonchalant attitude. So I asked the guy. What would you do if it was you and all your time and effort and $350 down the drain and because the first guy didn't tell you it should've been warrantied , he said I would just continue to let them replace them on warranty. Pretty much no help. So here I am waiting to find out from the third location of the same place who sold them to me if they will be warrantied. Never buy continental tires ever ever again.
