Tires Continental or OEM FORD

I think the OP made a great decision in getting some Continental DWS 06 tires vs. using those summer tires. I have used Conti DWS 06 tires in Winter while living in Colorado, Maine, Mississippi and now Germany. For places like Colorado and Maine, I'd recommend the Conti DWS 06 as a 3-season tire and then using a dedicated Winter tire. For Mississippi, the Conti DWS 06 is all you will ever need even for the most severe MS Winter. For Germany the Conti DWS 06 is doing a great job, for the severe winter days that are quite seldom, I have my Atlas with 4Motion and All-Weather tires.

Honestly, I was surprised how refined in terms of NVH the Continental Sport Contact 7 is. I've got them in 235/35 R19 and comfort-wise I wasn't expecting anything to be honest, but it was a nice surprise!

I’ve been happy with my Continentals and have never had a customer come back complaining about any set that they’ve bought.

Recently got the continental extremecontact dws06 plus. Very happy with them. Softer ride and good all season traction. Great performance for everyday driving and some backroads on the weekend

I had to replace my PS4s at 15000 miles, the rears were toast. After a lot of research and asking fb group, also went with Continental Extreme Contact DSW06 and am very happy with them so far. I'd say just as grippy as the Michelins but all-season which I needed to change to plus tread wear warranty is good

I highly recommend swapping the tires out for GP5000s. I’m happy that I did it when I went to carbon wheels.

I had Extreme Contacts and loved them. I swapped my ContiProContact5s on my 24 S5 Sportback for Extreme Contact DWS06+ as I had them on my 17 Fusion Sport and absolutely loved them.

Blasted through a Salt Lake winter storm a few weeks ago with these. Were amazing on my S3 so I highly recommend. I'm very happy with the continentals though!

I have 225/45r16 on mine. Only have rubbing with the fender going over medium to large bumps at speed. I've had small slivers eaten out of the same area. I'm on my second set of 225's. No significant issues.

Have the same bubble issue on my 2021 Arteon, 5800 miles, front passenger side.
