Tires Continental or Uniroyal

Continental PureContact LS are probably the best performance all season. They have a 60k mile tread life, perform very well on dry and wet road, but they are a bit on the pricier side.

I did this ride the opposite direction in 2019 in late Summer. It is probably doable on 25mm. I did the ride on 28mm tires, continental grand prix (so barely any tread). The dirt sections are very hard packed gravel and I didn't have any issues even on muddier sections.

I've had good luck with Conti Pro Contacts in the past and am currently running the Conti Pure Contact. Also had a good experience with Pirelli P7 on a past vehicle.

The OEM Conti's get dogged pretty good on here, and they are not good if you want to tear around. They do cruise really nicely though, and I find them excellent in inclement weather. I am clearly going to get at least 60k out of mine minimum, so I'm considering them as replacements as well.

I went back with Continentals as replacements because I got 80k miles out of them.

Continental 195 65 15 on all four corners -- fantastic snow traction in a front drive with traction control. It would beat SUV's with all seasons in a stoplight snow drag race.

I have Continentals on two of my cars. Wouldn’t settle for anything less. And we get a lot of snow and ice.

Continental touring+ is legit too. Havent had 1 flat since I switched several years ago.

My MKVI came with the Continental Procontact tires. I have 37k miles on them and found that after 30k miles, the noise, especially on concrete got pretty loud. The ride was relatively good and not too stiff though.

I run Conti DWSes on my A3 and I think they're abysmal with anything more than an inch of slush on the roads. More than that, once the temps get below 40 I can definitely sense them losing their grip. I haven't been overly thrilled with the Contis and don't think I'll buy them again.
