Tires Continental or TIGAR

Upgrading from the stock tires to GP5000's will make much, much more of a difference than the wheelset upgrade.

I have the Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus tires on my SHO and absolutely love them. So far I have not had any issues with the lighter snows we have had here in northern Virginia.

You would be better off choosing Continentals ControlContact or Falkens Pro G5

Continental Premiumcontact 6 on my 2021 hybrid. Quite pricy but quiet and feel very safe and I had some emergency braking situations on a wet road. After 5k miles I'm still happy about this choice.

I'm very happy with the Continental Viking Contact 7 snow tires, they are surprisingly quiet on dry roads.

Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02s are a bargain for a flagship summer tire that's excellent in the rain. I have them on my Si and run them daily and for autocross. While not as as sticky as a 200TW summer tire, they are really great in dry or wet conditions, and reasonably priced. I also had DWS06+ on my previous daily, a 2013 328i, and I liked those too.

I think a good tire is [Continental Tour] with a skin wall. It's made for Dynamo and includes a light safety belt.

I use it on my old bikes.

I had Continental DWS 06+ on my 2023 BRZ with a different wheelset and was extremely happy with them. I specifically tested them for grip in the wet and they were way better than the summer performance Michelin those cars come with as standard.

Continental tires are popular because they're cheaper than Michelin and Pirelli tires. Contis also last longer.

I would not buy Conti Pure contact LS again, they long lasting, grip and performance looks good but they are too harsh for me ( 225/50/17 has 98V load index)
