Tires Continental or Uniroyal

I’ve had DWS06+ tires on mine for over three years now and haven’t wished for either summers or winters. I live in NC where we see the whole range of weather, minus heavy snowfall. When it’s hot out, the grip exceeds my skill level so I haven’t had an issue with traction. When it’s cold out, I don’t drive like a moron so I haven’t had an issue with traction.

Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 are the answer. I've been running them 10 years in the Oregon and have driven them in 20 degree conditions with no snow. No issues as long as you're not trying to treat it as a canyon run.

They handle great in the rain and even better in the sun.

I ran 205 50 17 93W Continental All weather 3MPSF tires on 17x6.5 VW Gavia wheels last winter.

I have Conti Viking Contacts on at the moment. The contis are very quiet.

I specifically asked for the Continental VikingContact 8 on steel rims as the Contis have shown to be almost identical as the Nokian on snow and ice, but much better on cold dry roads and in rain. They also have better fuel economy and wear.

I lived in Chicago and had a summer/all season rotation on my tuned M240i, RWD. Never had any issues on my Continental DWS06 in winter once the roads were treated. They handled snow fine as any RWD, 400hp car should.

I did upgrade the tires to a quieter Continentals, from the standard issue goodyear. Its quiet, smooth, comfortable on the 4800 mile trip I took.

I've run the DWS06 all seasons in winter with no problems.

Continental is pretty much smack bang in middle. not really better at anything, not really worse on anything.

I had these tires before and they do wear fast. If you run them in the 30s, they will flat spot easy and wear the shoulders. I'd not recommend these tires.
