Tires Continental or SUMITOMO

Ran the Schwalbe marathons (700x25) for a couple of years but still had puncture issues on gravel/rough roads. Switched to the Continental Gatorskins (700x28) and it's a world of difference; didn't have a single puncture this season.

FWIW - I run 32mm GP5000's on 25mm IW rims; I measured them after a few hundred miles and they were 34.4mm wide.

I have the 35mm as tr on a 25mm rim. Great tires btw. Smooth as butter and very consistent build quality.

DWS06+ performs incredibly well and is priced considerably cheaper than Michelin. I went from PS4S to DWS and actually prefer the Continentals even without price factored in.

Best snow and ice tire I\u2019ve used have been Sumitomo Ice Edge. They are studdable and they are way cheaper than the major brands. I\u2019ve got them on my 01 Jetta and 04 L300. I\u2019ve had Blizzaks but they are pricey and the Firestone Wnterforces were meh.

Prius where road noise is the main concern, the Continental TrueContact Tour is usually the quieter of the two it rides softer and stays quiet even as it wears.

I have continental extreme contact are around $170 and I like them.

I’ve have Continental DWS06 Plus’s on my WRX for 3.5 years and haven’t slid in the snow once. I live in Western Pa and get about 27-35 inches of snow a year.

Went with the DWS 6+ but they are noisy. Very grippy here in Vancouver though. I have doubts about them in the snow though.

I have 2 years of experience with Continental all seasons in Poland, and difference is insane. The car drives like shit tbh both in winter, and in summer comparing to winter/summer tires.
