Tires Continental or Uniroyal

You can have max comfort, control, or max speed, but not all three. I’ve run conti GPS both 32(tubeless) and 28 (tubes) and prefer the 32s. The speed difference if any is negligible, but I definitely notice a difference in comfort and grip.

I am about a week in on these new tires and they feel much smoother than the Michelins did. Not as rough over bumps and potholes, and less road noise.

Eventually I got a set of Continental Kryptotal Fr/Re in 2.4" trail casing and endurance compound, and I haven't looked back since. The knobs are massive, and yet they roll super fast and grip super well. They perform so well in every metric that it just doesn't make sense, but I'll take it!

I'm a fan of the Uniroyal Laredo HT. Uniroyal is owned by Michelin but you'll save upwards of 75 bucks or more per tire.

Uniroyal has been a great tire for 130 years too

So far I love these new Continentals.

I always get Continental's "control contact sport SRS+" for my 1st gen. Not the most expensive, but I wouldn't describe it as shoestring either.

I’d go with the Blizzaks. I’ve also driven them on a CX-5 but went with Continental VikingContact 7 on my CX-5 and they’re incredible in every aspect.

Personally I went with the Continental Pure Contact LS tires. You do take a hit on efficiency, but it's much better in the rain and snow and wears much better as well. I have 25k miles on mine now and they look like they will last at least another 75k miles.

I went cheap, Uniroyal ice and snow .

Still better than all seasons,

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