Tires Continental or OEM Porsche

I personally like **Continental Ultracontact** for silent run for a non EV TIRE.

I swapped my bridge stones with Continental DWS06+ and it transformed the car. Ultimately I wanted to just get Summers since it never snows here and I never drive in snow,, but I am on a square set up (non m sport) and the continental were still better than the summer options that I had.

My M40i has the dedicated winters, Conti VikingContact 8 snow & ice tires. Went smaller width than stock, tire diameter is within 2% 235/55-R19. Non RF of course. About $1100 mounted, balanced, and storage of my all-season tires.

I’ve had both Blizzaks and Continental Vikingcontact on our vans. Both have been great. The Continentals are a little quieter on bare pavement, which is why I got them.

i just got a set for a hundred bucks off marketplace. Continental brand 225/60/R17 and theyre pretty damn good.

Our other car is a 2015 mazda 3 with continental vikings. No complaints there as well.

First driving impressions reveal that the ride is indeed much improved, speed humps are no longer intimidating and it rides much smoother and quieter on your typical city street.

People said these tires handle like garbage. I was skeptical—and yeah, they’re a bit squishy at first—but honestly, unless you’re trying to turn your grocery run into a Formula 1 race, they’re actually decent. The family has stopped complaining, which is a miracle; these tires actually soften the blow of our awful roads. Range is about the same, but the noise? Night and day. Old Contis were basically a marching band on wheels; now it’s quiet enough to enjoy the ride without wanting earplugs.

I had that problem when I switched from the OEM Michelins on my Model 3 to the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 tires; I lost about 10% range.

Lol as someone who comes from a Porsche owning family, the 265 tires up front and 295 in the back will automatically bankrupt you. Nothing like looking for a winter set of tires and wheels knowing you have to get Audi spec 5x112 wheels with tires wider than dump trucks that are triple the cost of 17 inch 225 tires with half the life.
