Tires Falken or Continental

I was torn between these two myself but went with the dw06 because of all the reviews saying that the pilot sports wear out fast. The dw06 is quiet and great in the rain so I think I made the right choice.

Falken Wildpeak FTW

If you’re not mudding and want to improve the ride then the Falkens with their mileage warranty is the best bang for the buck.

The EVOLUTION line from Cooper is their “cheap” line, recently bought by Goodyear. Have not been a fan of quality since the buyout

Continental PureContact LS. Also have them on my A3 Etron. The tires were less expensive and have much better grip and handling. They also are quieter and longer lasting.

Why is Continental nowhere on this chart?

I have their tires in all my cars and they are pretty good

The front looks ok but I also just got contis and put them on even with some life left on my old specialized.

I've been looking at the Toyo NanoEnergy3 for about £200 fitted, but also saw I could get the Falken SN832 for around £240 fitted.

I think a premium tyre is definately worth it. Michelin or Continental will outlast, be quieter, grip better and improve economy over all budget and most every mid range tyre.

Used to use them but they’re downright dangerous in the wet and almost impossible to get on/off. Use Continental Grand Sport Race now which are almost as resistant but half the price and with a lot more grip. No punctures in 1,600 miles.

Hit a pothole on the right side and replaced those with another brand (different from the stock Continentals, moved the Continentals to the front... and anything above 35 MPH the traction control light would flash. Anything above 55, I could very distinctly feel the car sliding all over the lane. It was very unsettling. I went back, returned the new ones, and bought the stock Continentals.
