Tires Continental or OEM Subaru

Continental Terra hardpack keep putting smiles on my face

The factory continentals were, by far, the WORST snow/wet tires I have ever had on a vehicle in 30+ years of driving. Hoping the all-seasons I have now fare better.

I like the dws06s solid option

I run snows on the '03 Outback and the '21 Mazda, I have a very early, 20+ mile commute to work, and live in the snow belt. So, roads are generally not plowed. They both do great on unplowed roads.

I’ve been running the Continentals for a number of years now and will not switch to anything else.

DWS every single time

I've had both on my m340i (currently on the pzeros). Contis lasted 15k miles and were down to 1 mm. Iirc the contis also felt a tad bit floatier. Awesome dry grip on both. DWS were great in snow, have yet to go through a winter with the pirellis. 0 complains for either when it comes to heavy rain.

Continental DWS06+ on my performance.

I’ve always ran the Conti DWS06 all seasons, probably 8 different sets of them on numerous types of vehicles. I love the tires when they are new (dry, wet and snow) until about 1/3 thread… then they become noisy imo.

I have lx25s for my equinox and the tread life is awful on them. They have less than 20k miles on them and we’re past 70% tread on them.
