Tires Continental or OEM Subaru

The continental dsw06 is so good I didn’t think twice to buy them again when it was time to replace .

Continental is the only way to go, period. I tried the PilotSports - junk. OEM's - junk.

If studded tires aren't an option I've had good experiences with Continental Vikintcontacts, although a non-studded tire will always perform worse on ice.

Have the continental tires all 4 wheels of my 2018 turbo love them ride nice on highway driving.

Ever since I started using the ExtremeContact DWS years ago on my ‘08 Mazda6, I’ve never gone back except for the stock tires that came on my ‘15. I really liked them when I had to deal with snow.

I am using them on MYLR since 8 months and already clocked 10k miles tread loss is around 15%, hoping to clovk 60k miles atleast - very sure. They are superb and tesla stock tires (Continental) were mess and in just 18K state inspection failed because there was no tread left LOL

Conti's on my R since 1000K miles. I'm at 24K now and they're holding up great. I'm in CT, we get some good snow events here, not like Chi town I'm sure, but the couple times I had to go out in it I wasn't too worried.

I also live in Toronto, I use Viking Contacts in the winter, very happy with these tires. They are quieter than the average winter tire when driving on bare dry pavement.

I just went through this with Kryptotals, and although it was tough, it wasn't THAT difficult to get the tire on and seated.

But having watched DWS regularly chunk badly under autox runs, i wouldn't expect much to be left of those tires at the end of the event. The compound is not designed to handle higher temps.
