Tires Continental or PHANTOM

I have the new VikingContacts on the AWD Alfa and they are even better. Both the Generals and Contis responded better at warmer temps, if that matters to you.

Continental. Had it for about a year now. Love them. Have had Pirelli and BFGs on previous cars but the Continental's are the best tire I've ever had.

I have Continental winter tires and am happy with them, but they are a bit expensive.

I have both currently and they’re both great tires

Continental DWS 06 or the new DWS 06 Plus that was released earlier this year is my go-to for all season.

Continental 4 Seasons are faster than Gatorskins while still having reasonable puncture protection.

With the Arteon, and some pretty sporty driving, I am about to replace all 4 tires on Wednesday, with around 32,000 miles - the fronts are right at the wear bars and the backs still have a touch more

I'm running continental ecs and never looked back

I'll be running the same Continental Winter Contact SI on the explorer. They did fine last year for me.

As for tires, I'd absolutely recommend against getting Conti DW's. I got them to replace Michelin PSS' mainly because they were cheaper and I thought the drop off in performance wouldn't be as significant as the price difference but it is...Very significant. For a chill family car, DW's are great..for any kind of performance driving, they just aren't good enough. Traction is ok but the sidewalls are very soft and I could feel them rolling and giving away at the track.
