Tires Continental or OEM Toyota

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

Yea. Also. 17+. Has hill assist for getting rolling uphill which is a nice option.\n\nOtherwise. It’s good as long as you keep up on the maintenance.. I bought a 15’ with 120k miles and did all the major recent work when I got it and it’s a great car\n\nHandles well in the rain even on those stock tires n wheels. Good. OG 86 car…

It's a good little car. Fast enough to be fun but no so much to be too stupid. Well balanced. \n\nSpend a bit less money on the car, and buy a second set of wheels. \n\nYour best looking wheels out some good 200 tread wear summer tires on. Vitour P1 or Rival RS if you want them to last a while. \n\nLeast favorite wheels out Continental DWS-06+ all seasons (or proper four season tires if you're in a snowbelt state).\n\nThis is a car that responds well to grip.

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 had the PureContact LS before these. The PureContacts were slightly quieter, and also slightly smoother on roads, and because I didn't take the Extremes to the extreme, I can't say if/how much better they are at handling, but on paper they should be.

I would have stuck with the PureContacts, but I had a very unfortunate puncture that was unserviceable, and they don't make them anymore.

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.
