Tires Continental or NANKANG

Continental dws06

UHP All Seasons are what your looking for. Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 or Continental DWS06+.

I've had Continental DWS06+ tires on my Passat for about 10,00 miles. Good all season tires, even light snow. Good tread wear, so far. Quiet. I'm happy.

After an absolute ton of research and talking to a lot of people, I decided on the Continental TerrainContact A/Ts. Compared to the stock destinations these tires have at least double the performance and grip in both snow and wet. They're a tiny bit louder on grooved surfaces, but it almost isn't noticeable. They feel a like the side walls are a little bit stiffer, which isn't a bad thing, but don't ride any harsher. Honestly, I'm very surprised at how much I like these tires.

My 2008 is350 on continental Dw06 extreme sport runs like a dream

I live in Chicago, so we get some good cold and winter conditions. I recently put Continental DWS06+ on my Giulia, they were great in the late summer, and have been great in the snow as well. I highly recommend them after a few months of use.

For a longer lasting summer tire you can check out the kumho ecsta sport S, Michelin pilot 4s, or Continental extremecontact sport 02.

Love the DWS

They wear down fast though

I’m a novice driver that has a total of 3 HPDE days on this set of tires. 2000 S2000, Nankang AR1 255 rear and 225 front. I had it aligned last year, with 1/4” toe in as per specs and most recommendations for the AP1 S2K. As you can see, my front tires have minimal wear compared to the rears. On track the lack of rear grip vs front is quite noticeable. There isn’t any wheel spin out of corners, the rear is just loose and twitchy in mid-high speed corners. I’m wondering if that’s why the rear wear is so much higher.

I don’t drive my Mini much, sub 100 miles a year. I had Nankangs but they started to split after 18 months. Not sure if lack of movement didn’t help but it was annoying.
