Tires Continental or Sailun

Personally I prefer Continental a little more for the pricing to performance advantage they offer (admittedly subjective). You do still pay a little for the name but it's not as painful of an upcharge as Michelin and their comparable lines in my size are over $50/tire cheaper. Recently I even lucked out and they're preferable to my prior Defenders.

The Continental Viking Contact 7 is the best winter tire I've ever driven on and the sneak peak I've had at the Viking Contact 8 looks like they've made it even better.

I like how little noise they make, their performance on both snow and ice, and how the treads don't fold over on one another.

For posterity, I've been running 235/45/18 Conti DWS06+ w/ no issues on the stock 18x7.5 ET45 Canyons lowered on Golf R front & Golf R Variant rear springs w/ Koni SA dampers for a little over a year: I think it's just about the perfect amount of sidewall myself, but would prefer another half inch of wheel width for flushness & sidewall contour.

I have the Continental VikingContact7 winter tires and I couldnt be happier. They have kept me out of some sticky situations.

I have non studded Conti Viking and it's perfect. It can also be a handful to drive, It moves under throttle, slides left and right. To me, this is not a drawback, it makes it fun. But, it's 5 in the morning, going to work half asleep, and you have a hard time accelerating at green lights getting passed by Yaris's, it can suck. I have a 15 min commute it's OK, wouldn't spend my day in it. On back roads it's a charm. I would not let my mother drive it in the snow, you have to be on your A game.

Sailung - amžinos, mesos ant jų bus 20 metų.

I put a set of Continental TrueContact Tour on our 2016 about this time last year and so far so good. They do OK in the snow (we don’t get a lot or heavy) and I don’t think they are noisy compared to the Yokohamas that were on them before. We put a lot of highway miles on them and they handle well in the rain. Pacific Northwest, so I worry more about driving in the rain over other conditions.

My Continental ECS Sport lasted about 5 events. Not the most track oriented but fine for me. I didn’t really need new ones but the lack of camber was evident and they came out with the Sport 02

I've had mine for about 34k miles. I don't think they're very good tires. They started out great, but road noise became very noticeable after about 20k miles. The tires seem hard now. Seems like the car wants to slide on turns in light rain. Currently getting some shake from one of the tires at 63-73 mph, but keep in mind this started after replacing a bad bearing.
