Tires Nexen or Continental

Same. Went from Pirelli P7 All Season Plus to Continental Control Contact SRS+ and basically paid $900 for everything including installation.

Within a couple weeks I tossed the summers and had Discount Tire install Continental DWS 6+ tires. I haven’t looked back since. I have over 27k miles on them. Lots of tread left (rotate every 5k). Upper mid west roads.

Granted, I went from Yokohamas to Continentals, but the increases are huge.

I have ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus by Continental. They are quiet, smooth, and amazing in the rain. Really happy with them.

10x better than the continentals in snow.

I got new tires for my mk7 Jetta gli yesterday at Discount Tires. Continental dws06plus, 225/45/18, or whatever stock size is. Great tires. Holy cow, these tires make the car drive that much better.

My favorite tire for the typical forester/outback suburb crowd I see at work is still the Continental contiprocontact series. Decent wear, decent performance, easy to install, easy to patch, balance is usually good.

I've always had good performance out of Conti GPs. I've tried other brands but keep coming back to them.

Oh, and I guess I did have a set of some Continental Wintercontact of some flavor last winter, and they were fine. Nothing really good to say, nothing bad either.

Man I have this EXACT issue on my 2019 arteon, somewhere between 10k and 20k kms and Continental is telling me to fuck off.
