Tires Continental or Vredestein

I use all-seasons, and I've had Vredestein, Michelin and now GoodYear on a V50. Michelin was the nicest, Vredestein was good too (and very local to me :-)) but bad for mileage.

The OEM Dunlops and Falkens are absolutely rubbish and needs to be replaced to get a true sense of ride and handling of the mazda6. I replaced by Dunlops at around 18k miles with Conti DWS 06 and it completely transformed my car.

I purchased the Vredestein Tires a few months ago from Tire Rack. They seem to be a good tire from what I can tell so far. They have performed well in the wet and dry and were sure-footed at high speeds. Compared to the other sets of tires I’ve had over the years, they seem to be one of the quieter ones.

I’ve driven an AWD crossover with Continental True Contacts in deep heavy snow without issue.

The worlds best tire I have ever driven on. I have been buying tires for over 40 years and many times cruise control is set at 85mph, wet road, dry road, local road at 30mph or at 85 mph No other tire compares to Vredestein tires, plus almost NO road noise.

Continental makes some of the best product in the industry and is very high quality

Continental is the far superior tire if the cotinental is also a winter tire. The studded Westlake may out perform the conti on glare ice and hard packed snow for the first season, maybe 2, but the continental will last longer and out perform the Westlake in just about every other way.

I run the Contis ECS and love them.

Getting back to reliability, the one thing that all the forums agree on is that the OEM Continental ProContact TX 245/35R20 on the SEL-P R-Line is vulnerable to just about anything.

Man I have this EXACT issue on my 2019 arteon, somewhere between 10k and 20k kms and Continental is telling me to fuck off.
