Tires Falken or Continental

Ive used trail kings on my old 26 hardtail for many years. I think theyre actually pretty great. The black chili rubber coumpound is good, theyre such a nice blend of grip and rolling speed. They have held up and been pretty durable as well.

I run Continental TrueContact 225/70/16 now. They are stickier than the Michelins, especially in wet conditions, and I regularly get 26+ mpg in my E.

I’m running the Falken Wildpeaks 235 70R16s.

No suspension mods (my car is ALL stock except for these tires!)

I LOVE THEM.

I run Falken Wildpeaks (severe winter-rated All Terrains). Have zero issues driving in snow.

I'm.running Conti DWS06 235/40 on all 4 corners. I looked hard at the Michelin Pilot Sports, watched a few comparison videos. Both are very similar in performance with the Michelins slightly better overall.The Contis have a slight edge in the snow.

I switched to Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06+ and they are the best ultra high performance all season tires. Been running them for almost 30kms now, Better than Michelin Pilot Sport 4 AS..

I ditched the stock tires at 20k and went with Falken Wildpeak A/T and it drives perfect.

If you are in the snowy bit of the Midwest go with the Continental DWS06 since it’s probably the best non-snow tire in snow. If you don’t get constant deep snow get Michelin Pilot Sport 4S since they are all around better in everything but snow.

My wife bought a new Golf R. 19” wheels with Continentals. In no time at all she hit a pothole and pinched a tire which required replacement. I immediately put a space saver spare in the car.

I am still not impressed with these tires. I'm just about to hit 14k miles on these tires and they are some of the worst tires I've had. Definitely going to replace them before winter. We average 6-8 inches of snow every winter and these tires are like race slicks in the snow.
