Tires Continental or NANKANG

I had ExtremeContacts on my golf and loved them except they didn’t last as long as I expected. Then I got Pilot Sport 4s since they were on sale at the same price as the contis. they’re a bit louder but a bit grippier.

I had a friend with Blizzacks on his WRX, and I put the equivalent Continental WinterContacts on my WRX. Mine wore less over time and I commuted more, were slightly cheaper at the time, and felt like they performed a little better.

Big fan of the Continent Winter Contacts for my Passat in 215 width. They were quite a bit less than Michelin's at the time. I'll buy them again.

I recommend Continentals. High quality tires, in general high lifespans and good grip. Good ride quality and low noise.

Ive used trail kings on my old 26 hardtail for many years. I think theyre actually pretty great. The black chili rubber coumpound is good, theyre such a nice blend of grip and rolling speed. They have held up and been pretty durable as well.

I usually go for Nankang SW-8, as they are really cheap for how good they feel.

I run Continental TrueContact 225/70/16 now. They are stickier than the Michelins, especially in wet conditions, and I regularly get 26+ mpg in my E.

I'm.running Conti DWS06 235/40 on all 4 corners. I looked hard at the Michelin Pilot Sports, watched a few comparison videos. Both are very similar in performance with the Michelins slightly better overall.The Contis have a slight edge in the snow.

Getting back to reliability, the one thing that all the forums agree on is that the OEM Continental ProContact TX 245/35R20 on the SEL-P R-Line is vulnerable to just about anything.

I had the exact same issue with these tires. Bulging and also extremely fast wear. They were shot after 10k miles. Unbelievably bad product and they don't stand behind it.
