Tires Hankook or Continental

Just put on four new 18" Conti Extreme Contact DWS tires on it and the ride is smooth and so very quiet.

I had a set of 4 matching Continental tires with about 90% tread left.

I have Hankook IPike w203 (couple of years older model) and don't have a single complaint (very happy).

On my MK VI R I run Hanhook Icept Evo's in the winter, they are a "snow" tire winter rated and all but they are also geared towards high performance. I feel very confident in conrnrs and such when its dry unlike some snow tires that are mush and don't handle well. In a car like the R it would be a shae to use a tire that doesn't allow the car to handle well when roads are dry or just slightly wet. the Icepts are a great snow tire. I have had zero issues wit their performance on snowy surfaces especially with the AWD you can basically go WOT from a stop in the snow and have no traction issues.

The DWS seems to work fine in everything.

I use conti motions :) get 6/7k miles before I change them.

Confidence inspiring in the wet due to the big recesses in the tyres that help to displace water, cheap enough and also no chicken strips :)

This is my first set of dsw and I like them. I had them when I lived in NJ and they were good. I recommend

I am on my 3rd set of Conti DWS tires. I got 60K out of the first two sets.

I had the V12s on my Subaru - were great until I had to stop in the snow. I have the V12s on my S2000 - tried to move it into the garage last year after it had started to snow and had a very difficult time getting traction.

I had the 18" Hankook tires on my 2012 Highline and managed to get almost 50,000 KMs out of them before I traded the car. They were always quite noisy, and they wore terribly.
