Tires Falken or Continental

I’ve ran both the Continentals and Yokohamas. General is owned by continental and make mid tier tires(continental would high tier in this case)

For your tire size, I’d take continental. The DWS06 is an amazing tire and well worth the price. Ran it on my 2017 Focus ST all winter long in the Portland area and they handled great!

Currently have them on my 2006 Acura TSX in south Cali and same thing. Good ride comfort, handling, and grippy around the corners.

Tire upgrade is the single best purchase you can make for this car. Continental DWS 06 tires truly transformed the driving experience.

got the Continental DWS06plus, so far they’ve been exceptional in the wet weather. Also, quieter than the uniroyal tiger paws.

The DWS06 is the second best on the market, but it’s probably not worth 75% more than the best in the budget category (the kumho), especially on a mazda3

The dws06 is one of the best tires on the market.

I am now on a set of continental for the winter. (And they run better than the all season khumo, go figure), but I'll look for those hankook next spring!

I've got the AT3W on my 4R with about 30k miles on them and I love them. They 275s in a C-load so they're HEAVY, but they're wearing great.

I’ve had my AT3’s for about 3 years now. I live in Arizona and drive in the desert a lot and occasionally rainy/snowy slush roads in the winter over never ever had a issue and the noise is minimal to me. Just overall a damn good tire.

Continental extreme contactforce (275F/325R) probably slots somewhere slightly above the goodyears in pace with probably less longevity.

Falken RT615k+ on BMW 135i here. They are toast with less than 5k miles on them.
