I have the stock Conti EcoContact6 and they’re pretty good even in the wet. It takes deliberately poor driving to even come close to breaking the back end loose.
Mines too has the stock contis, and you can go full send in the wet and between the tyre and traction control, no wheel spin (unless you chase after it by turning etc)
I have a seal premium, live in a very wet tropical climate, drive in only sport mode, and with the stock continental's I find the car to be very sticky even in the wet it takes a deliberate movement to get the back end loose.
Went with the Continental DW06 since I had them on the GTI. Night and Day from the Summer Tires, much better for driving around town.
I have a solid set of Continental Tires that have held up well in Buffalo weather.
General Tire, Kumho, Dunlop, Uniroyal are also decent.
I have had good success with Continental Race Kings. They are not specifically hardened/flat proof, but the knobs keep the tire away from thorns and glas shards.
Get a good pair of Continental Extreme Contacts.
The SportContact 6 have been disappointing in a few areas: poor rolling resistance, high wear, and noticeable road noise. I’d like to improve on those aspects while keeping good wet grip. I don’t mind a bit less dry handling — the SportContact 6 are insanely good there, but I’m not tracking the car, so that level of performance isn’t really necessary for public roads.
I’m using the Continental 5000 TR S 32mm running tubeless.
Everytime I ride I get a puncture! It’s crazy and not sure why. I used one of the tire calculators and it has me at 68psi front, 70 rear.
Rode with a buddy couple weeks back who has the same tires and he got a puncture so bad on the rear it wouldn’t seal, we had to put a plug it.
I might try lowering the pressure and see what happens. Tires are new…
