Tires Continental or OEM Volkswagen

I run the continental DW on my RC's and all I gotta say is I love them. It has a nice ride and they stick like no other!

My 2010 Golf TDI came from Germany with Continental tires and they were great in the rain.

Continental Extreme Winter Contacts!! from Ottawatiresdirect

I have these on my TDI for about 1 year now. I like them They didn't affect my MPG as I still get 41 MPG and the road noise is minimal. I too live in the Seattle region and have made multiple trip to Vegas and Salt Lake and the tires held up well. Glad I did, I feel that I have confidant cornering and good braking abilities with low road noise.

I ponied up the money for a new set of Continentals (Purecontact with ecoplus) because my previous set last 50K miles and had excellent grip throughout. They did become loud towards the end.

I was running OEM Continental Conti-seal Pro-contact and was not very happy with price. Went through two sets and had issues with road wear and durability (slightest potholes wreck the sidewalls) so I decided to get a set of the Continental ProContact Extreme DWS. I got a great deal on them w/ a 70 rebate to boot. I find them far superior so far. Great dry/wet traction. Minimal road noise. I had them paired with a new set of Niche Targa 18's... hit a pothole in the first week (cant tell you how freaked out I was at impact!) but they kept going just fine. No sidewall damage, no bent wheel (compared to OEM wheel). Cant tell about winter though as I run winter wheel setup. I would recommend you check them out.

I am currently running Continental ContiSportContact 5P. They are even stickier that the ExtremeContact DWs I had on my W8. I have two summers on them and do not have any cupping, I have only have been rotating front-back.

Just put on four new 18" Conti Extreme Contact DWS tires on it and the ride is smooth and so very quiet.

I had a set of 4 matching Continental tires with about 90% tread left.

Conti ExtremeContacts are noisy. I have them on my Mazda5. The tires are especially loud when they are cold and moving at low speed. They feel like good tires and seem to wear well, but the noise factor alone makes me want to not keep them for too long.
