Tires Continental or SUMITOMO

Continental Tires

I finally decided to try out some tires that might be closer to a road tire... I decided on the Continental Contact Urban’s in 700x 42mm.

I did my first big commute on them last week, and also rode around town all weekend. I‘m super impressed! They roll very fast! Great grip cornering tightly on pavement and they don’t feel the least bit sketchy on gravel or dirt sections...On the sections where I usually average 13-15 mph, I was getting more like 14-17 mph...But overall, a noticeable improvement.

Pros: roll very fast, great grip
Cons: body feeling more jarred

The continental extreme contact sport dws06+ is grippy enough for spirited summer driving and handles well in snow. Not as good as a snow tire but as good as you can get with an a/s. Highly recommend

Pros: grippy, handles well
Cons: not as good in snow
Vehicle: Audi S4

Continental ExtremeContact DWS06. It’s Continental’s premium all-season tires. I’ve had them now for two years and they have been excellent.

Pros: excellent, premium all-season
Vehicle: Audi A3

Continental is frequently "second place" to Michelin in many categories (follow up on Tire Rack, and look their comparison guides), but they also cost like 80% of Michelin's price almost every time. They are never more expensive in the same category. Really good tires.

Pros: really good tires
Cons: second place to Michelin

Personally, I’d spend the extra money and get Continental tires because they make good shit. I run them on both cars, specifically the DWS06+. If it can handle my 500+ hp car, it can handle whatever you’re putting them on.

Pros: good quality, handles high hp

I bought Continental LX25’s. They felt unsure, unstable, kind of jittery right from day 1 at high speed. New replacement set feels slightly better but still not smooth as glass. The steering wheel doesn’t shake, but I feel through the seat and floor a sense of unsteadiness. Like the car is a bit jittery, where the Michelins felt smooth as glass. BUT - I also can’t believe these tires are so junky. They weren’t cheap tires. They feel great up to 50mph , ok from 50-65, and then above 70 it’s jittery.

Pros: great up to 50mph
Cons: unsure, unstable, jittery
Mileage: 50000 km
