Tires Continental or NANKANG

I've had Continental DWS06 235/40/18 225/45/18 tires on my 2011 Speed and I loved them. The 235/40 had more grip but the 225/45 ride better. Simply put, the DWS06 tires are the best tires I've ever owned.

the mechanic that put on my new Continentals reckons I'll get 20,000ks out of them.

I sure wish Continental ExtremeContact DWS were available. I've had them on a few ICE BMWs and they're awesome tires and work great with BMW suspension.

The best performance tires I ever had were the Continental Pure Contact, V rated. Superb handling, road feel, good ride quality. These were on my 2013 Tiguan.

They did fine, not a great performing tire but for the price they aren't bad at all.

My biggest gripe was that you can't tell how much life it has left in the rear, since it had a smooth center. I just noticed mine showed cords one day.

As for tires, I'd absolutely recommend against getting Conti DW's. I got them to replace Michelin PSS' mainly because they were cheaper and I thought the drop off in performance wouldn't be as significant as the price difference but it is...Very significant. For a chill family car, DW's are great..for any kind of performance driving, they just aren't good enough. Traction is ok but the sidewalls are very soft and I could feel them rolling and giving away at the track.
