Tires Continental or Nokia

Tiguan 17” steelies, et38 6.5w. I might have went a little too nuts and ceramic coated them, metal valve stems, greased weights/stems for anti corrosion, ordered Transporter T4 Lug-covers from EU and put Nokian R5 Hakkapelittas on

Yea I work at a tire shop they look exactly like every other set of nokians we throw on

Having come from Michelin PS4 Summer - and Michelin PS4 AS before that.. I can firmly say I prefer the Conti DSS06 for AS.

I run the DWS's on my M2, they're a good tire. Not amazing, but decent in the wet which is what i care about up in Seattle.

I patched up the tubes, treated it to some Continental Double Fighter tires (feels like flying!), ditched the ridiculous bullhorn on the handlebar, swapped out the brakes, and gave it a new saddle.

To my surprise, this beast rides *incredibly* smooth compared to my trusty aluminum Specialized with 29" wheels! It’s way more agile and feels lighter

Continental DoubleFighter - More pavement friendly but works on singletrack. This is my current choice for riding the Ohio to Erie Trail which is mostly paved surface.

I run continental Dws06+ year round and have yet to have any issues in the wet or snow. I also push the car quite hard in the summer time and they grip pretty well.

I am impressed with Nokian brand.

My Continental ECS Sport lasted about 5 events. Not the most track oriented but fine for me. I didn’t really need new ones but the lack of camber was evident and they came out with the Sport 02

Note to self to never buy Nokian, those things are toast.
