Tires MICHELIN or Continental

Same here. I’ve gone back to the Conti’s on my R after running the AS4’s. Outstanding all-around tire.

Never had a bubble on my DWS. Had several on my Michelins.

I've owned AS3's, AS3+, and PSAS4's. I've also owned DWS06 and DWS06+. I am partial to the DWS. I like a healthy 50/50 performance/comfort blend. DWS are that.

DWS06plus are wonderful: quieter than expected with excellent grip and ride. I have 25k on mine with absolutely nothing but praise--Maine winter snow and summer downpours are non issues.

I've had the Continentals on my '24 GLI since April or so, quiet, great traction, good handling.

I have a 2019 Golf R modded to the gills and run stock 19" VW rims with Conti Extreme Contact Sport Max Performance Summers and 17" Oz Racing rims with Conti Extreme Contact DWS06 Plus for cooler months. I have also run the DWS06 on my daily drive a 2015 Lexus CT200h all year around.

I have had great results with Continental Extreme contacts DWS 06 plus, and earlier versions, I have had more than 10 complete sets of 4 over the years on all my many VW's. Fantastic in rain, and great in all other conditions...great handling solid feel. Long tread life for a really high traction rating.

Seeking a pair of Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 225/40/18 tires for my MK7 GTI's Austin wheels. Had an alignment issue on my GTI that chewed up the inner edges of my front tires\u2014unfortunately, not covered under warranty. I'm about ~30k miles in on this set, and the rears are still solid, so I\u2019m hoping to find a pair of moderately worn replacements to swap for a year or so until it's time to replace 'em all. These are pretty popular tires (among the best performing and the \"Costco special\"), so I'm checking here in case someone has a couple collecting dust in their garage. Ideal tread depth would be in the 6/32\"+ range. Located in the tri-state area (Brooklyn-based, but also spend time in Rockland County NY) and willing to travel a bit for pickup. Let me know what you\u2019ve got! Thanks!

Will be interested to see rolling test results.

VW/Audi has been mounting these on some Audi SUV's at the factory. I went to two reputable tire stores, and they both corroborated the weakness of this specific tire; due to weak sidewall strength. They are like marshmallows. Any competent driver who has sporting blood can sense how poorly large vehicles handle with these model tires.
