Tires Hankook or Continental

I have ContiProContact tires for my R-60. I most definitely purchased Run Flats as they were the “MINI Approved” tires suggested by service guy at the MINI dealership.

Personally I would recommend the Continental EXTREME CONTACT DWS 06. They are as good if not better than Michelin Pilot Super Sport.

Continental Terrain Contact AT. Best tire I ever owned. Even better than General Grabbers

The other snow tire I used in my 14 years of driving is a Continental Winter Contact SI which was excellent on highway winter driving but not as good for snowy road driving.

I got a set of Continental Viking Contact 7 tires for my Impreza last winter when the shop didn't have Blizzaks in my size and I couldn't be happier with them.

I’m running continental extreme contact DWS06 ran me about $150 per tire.

What a difference with the Contes….sooo much quieter. Could be the excitement, but I feel like it’s a bit flatter in the turns.

2013 limited eco AWD on Conti DWS06. I came from an Audi A4 Quattro on Blizzaks in the winter. The Flex ain’t the Audi but it’s pretty good.

Decided to bump it up 5 to 245/40/20 and 275/35/20 and try some Continental ExtremeContact tires. Tested them out and noticed the faster I go the more floaty or the feeling that the car is 30 feet long (aka 1980's boat sized cars). Is this from what I've read that the sidewalls are softer on continental tires?

I am still kind of unhappy with Hankook and I'll probably avoid this brand in future. That said, it looks like my Hankook tires with 60k treadwear warranty were worn literally to ground in less than 25k miles in 3 years.
