Tires Continental or WEST LAKE

I decided to switch to Continental PureContact tires as they are better rated and less expensive and still are low rolling resistance. I haven’t noticed any loss in range.

PS - for what it’s worth, my snow tires are Continental WinterContacts and I’ve run them for about 6 years so far and I still have over 60% tread left. They’re fantastic.

They’re good tires, the best tires I’ve ever had were Continentals, but these feel solid.

I run conti dws06 on my gti here in the PNW they're great in the dry and wet!

I’m running continental extremecontact dws06 on my rwd coupe.

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.

I've got Westlake on my escape and mustang, they seem fine to me.

I've had 2 failures with Continental tires.. One was the DWS and the other was a ContiSport?.. both were sidewall failures. The ContiSport tire broke its band, and the tire became distorted, while the DWS tires softer sidewall was cut open when my wife hit a pothole.
