Tires Continental or Nokia

Had blizzacs for years. Got studded Hakkas never going back.

I got 32k miles out of my OEM Continentals - I could have pushed them for another 5K miles (I’m in the desert so no snow and limited rain). That’s good enough for me, so I got another set about a week ago.

I’m getting the same continentals again. They’re whisper quiet.

I have carbon wheels and ride very rocky trails 6-8 hours/week. I use Kryptotal Fr and Kryptotal Re, both in enduro soft, and I don't use inserts. They are great tires. Excellent grip, fast rolling.

From my experience, Nokian makes the best winter tires. Once you use winter tires on slush, ice and snow, you will never go back to all season tires in winter. With AWD, it's more about being able to turn and brake in slippery conditions than getting started.

It may not be universal, but I can tell you from my experience, Continentals and damn good tires.

I’ve owned 5 sets of Nokian tires and never a single issue with dry rot.

I went with the Continentals. Been on them for almost a year now. Feel great with good grip for spirited driving in the mountains.

I put Continental dws on my 2017 before I traded it in. They were decent for all weather in Ohio

I was desperate to find something to replace my GP5000's after they got their 6th puncture in the space of 4 months of riding. Threw them in the trash.
