Tires Continental or NANKANG

Just got these to replace my OEM contis that lasted 40k miles. So far I’m loving the SRS+.

Also lift kit, 14” rims and nankang AT tires so I can get to more remote job sites.

I’ve used Continental (very good), Hankook (good), Goodyear (good - worse handling in summer than Conti but excellent in winter, higher wear).

You may also look at Nankang AR1, 100tw semi slicks, if it’s only for track and dry days.

I had great experience, my car weighs 3k lbs, and the set lasted me for 16-17 track days, and it was a used set.

The grip in these tires is insane and improved braking drastically.

I ran the Continental Extreme Contact Force on my VA and it's a great endurance 200 tire.

I had Conti DWS 06+ on my MK7 GTI and my wife has them on her 2020 330xi on 19s. I can't say enough good things about them. Good balance of performance and comfort, they are more taut than Grand Touring tires but still comfortable around town and on long drives. They've worn evenly and have been excellent in all 3 season weather conditions

I ordered my spare from ECS Tuning for $228 (looks like it is now $259) last year and it arrived quickly and fit perfectly with no modifications needed. It is a brand new wheel with a brand new Continental tire, which I preferred over tracking down a used spare from a junkyard. The foam surround kit is completely unnecessary and just wastes space that can be used to store other supplies around the spare.

Continental Gatorskins will prevent flats, but they are the least fun tires to ride. Rolling resistance is terrible.

Dws are loud. If you value comfort go for some touring tires

Meine Ganzjahresreifen habe ich nach der ersten Schneeflocke gegen Winterreifen getauscht, Auto war unfahrbar (und sogar für gut befundene Continental). Nie wieder Ganzjahresreifen.
