Tires Continental or OEM Volkswagen

personally I skipped going for the Hakkapeliittas this time and went with Continental IceContact XTRM Studded, So far they have been great! but damn are they loud on dry pavement lol.

Continental 175/70 r13 tires imported from Italy in July 2020 (at substantial expense \ud83e\udd23) to wrap this set of 82 Jetta wheels for my resto-mod. Finally got them painted to my satisfaction in reflex silver. Searched all of US and Canada for Continental 175/70s with no luck.

i just got a set of continentals in june and i am in love. prior to this, i had dunlops (original set) and i think yokohama after that. i hated them both. slid in the rain all the time. came here for a recommendation and saw lots of praise for the contis. so glad i found them.

I'm very happy with the Contis!

I've had the Contis on my Hatch for two years now and they're worth every penny.

I loved conti 'der kaisers' they have huge paddles for braking, and 13 side knobs for every 11 maxxis side knob. They seem similar to a dhr2 with the whole paddle thing goin on...

Continental dws06-plus. Great value. Good tread life and they grip the road when you need it to

Conti PureContact here. Great all seasons, awesome in the rain.

I swapped out at 36k to Continental EXtremeContact DWS06 (50,000 mile warranty). They were $1000 installed at my tire place. It looked like the stock Primacy's would have been $200-300 more. The Continentals are less efficient (\~5% or so), but the extra money I will spend on electricity over the life of the tire doesn't make up the cost difference. Currently have about 10k miles on the new tires. Can't tell any real difference in noise or ride comfort level.

My 2013 Tig with continental contact-pro tires has just lost the 2nd tire to sidewall failure at only 30k mi. First was a blowout, thankfully while parked. Second was a slow leak. No known issue that would have caused side-wall failure. Never saw that before.
