Tires Continental or RIKEN

I haven't had to change tires for my MX yet, but I have almost exclusively used Continental Extreme Contact DWS on all my other vehicles. Ever since I switched them up on my S2000 years ago. Used them on my 2 370zs, use them on my Nissan LEAF. I am a big fan of them.

Recently replaced factory Goodyear with 20” Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS for about $1200. 3500 miles and they are great with minimal wear. Quiet with great wet and dry handling. 2021 MYLR.

I have the DWS 06 on my RS and I LOVE how they feel and drive.

I had ExtremeContacts on my golf and loved them except they didn’t last as long as I expected. Then I got Pilot Sport 4s since they were on sale at the same price as the contis. they’re a bit louder but a bit grippier.

I had a friend with Blizzacks on his WRX, and I put the equivalent Continental WinterContacts on my WRX. Mine wore less over time and I commuted more, were slightly cheaper at the time, and felt like they performed a little better.

Big fan of the Continent Winter Contacts for my Passat in 215 width. They were quite a bit less than Michelin's at the time. I'll buy them again.

I recommend Continentals. High quality tires, in general high lifespans and good grip. Good ride quality and low noise.

I had this same model on my prior VAG vehicle (in 245/40R19) and pretty typical for OEM tires: smooth ride, reasonably quiet, handles ok (both dry & wet), and can cope with an early- or late-season light snow when you're caught unexpectedly w/o your winter or all-weather tires.

Have the same bubble issue on my 2021 Arteon, 5800 miles, front passenger side.
