Tires Continental or Vredestein

Continental tires are a bitch to take off and put on. Otherwise, I do stand by their durability and reliability. They're great tires, Gatorskin or not!

Continental 4 Season is all I roll with due to surviving a rough +300km cycle with raw thread already exposed due to a severe break on rough ground and glass. Tough, grippy, all weather.

I switched to 5000's a while back and haven't regretted it. They definitely roll faster and corner better.

I run Conti gp 5000 AS TR and do like them a lot. They have quite allright puncture protection and run very good while still having very good grip even in wet conditions

They are actually a really solid tire in this category, not as good as the Continentals which are some of the best in their category of UHP all-season tires, but they come pretty close...

I have had no issues with these tires. I assume the people from Norway know how to make winter tires, lol.

I have had the Quatrac 5 on my car for a few years without issue.

I haven’t had those but have been running a set of Quatrac Pros for the past three and a half years. They have been good tires. No complaints from me after nearly 44k miles.

I have had the best luck w/ Michelin Pilot Sports or Super sports. I have had several sets of the Continental Sport Contacts on different cars including the Golf R and they seem to wear out early with noise and balance problems sooner than I would expect. I have never had a set last more than 20K miles before the tread was gone and/or they start having noise/balance issues. They are GREAT tires up until that point, but they don't last anywhere near their published treadlife rating.

They are awful in snow. So I only run them for 6 months, and Continental Viking Contact 7 winter tires for the other 6 months. 8000 miles on each and only a little wear.
