Tires Continental or Nokia

I decided to switch to Continental PureContact tires as they are better rated and less expensive and still are low rolling resistance. I haven’t noticed any loss in range.

PS - for what it’s worth, my snow tires are Continental WinterContacts and I’ve run them for about 6 years so far and I still have over 60% tread left. They’re fantastic.

They’re good tires, the best tires I’ve ever had were Continentals, but these feel solid.

I run conti dws06 on my gti here in the PNW they're great in the dry and wet!

I’m running continental extremecontact dws06 on my rwd coupe.

Continental PureContact LS are probably the best performance all season. They have a 60k mile tread life, perform very well on dry and wet road, but they are a bit on the pricier side.

I LOVE my Nokian WRG 4 tires. They are great in the winter (they have the snowflake symbol)and the best part is you can use them in the summer too.

I did this ride the opposite direction in 2019 in late Summer. It is probably doable on 25mm. I did the ride on 28mm tires, continental grand prix (so barely any tread). The dirt sections are very hard packed gravel and I didn't have any issues even on muddier sections.

I've had good luck with Conti Pro Contacts in the past and am currently running the Conti Pure Contact. Also had a good experience with Pirelli P7 on a past vehicle.

After a week with the DWS, I've decided to replace them with the OEM version of Pirelli all seasons. The DWS on my car aren't "loud", but the noise they do give off (high pitched whine) drives me nuts at highway speed.
