Tires Continental or Nokia

After about 30k miles I changed the OEM tires to Continental Cross Contact LX25. I recalled the day I drove my Venza off the dealership. Everything feels so smooth and stable again!

Ich fahr immer Conti, weil ich selbst bei starkem Regen in meinem Ibiza immer noch super stabil unterwegs bin und als Eco Contact soll der Verbrauch auch nochmal besser sein, besonders weil ich auch immer ca. 0.3-0.5 bar mehr reinhaue. Meine jährliche Fahrleistung liegt bei 25k und da lohnt sich das dann eben schon, da Conti auch den Ruf hat, besonders lang zu halten. Die letzten, wobei das noch die normalen irgendwas contact waren, haben mir bei den Kilometern 5 Jahre klasse durchgehalten.

In Virginia, use a 245/40 continental dws. Did great in our last snow

The continent Viking contact 7 is what I run in Colorado mountains. IMO best bang for buck winter tire. It’s my ski car so if there is powder I am there and hasn’t failed me yet.

I replaced the run flats on my ‘24 X7 last week. I have 22” staggered wheels and replaced them with the Continental DWS06. Couldn’t be happier. This is my second X7 and I love the car, but I wanted more than 10k out of a set of tires.

Used to daily an NA Miata for years (based in PNW.) Had snow tires (hakkas) during winter and never had a problem.

I’ve been running conti DWS 06s on my X5/7s for years. Really like them. Good all weather traction, even in the snow. If you’re in lots of snow often then a true winter/summer setup is best as nothing beats snow tires, but for the usual storms we get in the Denver area they’re solid.

I've bought the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 for one car... I feel the Nokians are the best.

I have a model 3 but was debating the pilot sports. I have continental pro contact rx and on smooth roads they are smooth and quiet but on not recently paved roads they can be bumpy and loud.

I ran some trail kings black chili years ago. By far the most difficult tire I've ever tried to mount. Never again.
