Tires Nexen or Continental

I'm having the Continental VikingContact 8 on my Mazda, must say I am really happy. They are super communicative in what's happening under the car.

Ran the Schwalbe marathons (700x25) for a couple of years but still had puncture issues on gravel/rough roads. Switched to the Continental Gatorskins (700x28) and it's a world of difference; didn't have a single puncture this season.

FWIW - I run 32mm GP5000's on 25mm IW rims; I measured them after a few hundred miles and they were 34.4mm wide.

I have the 35mm as tr on a 25mm rim. Great tires btw. Smooth as butter and very consistent build quality.

DWS06+ performs incredibly well and is priced considerably cheaper than Michelin. I went from PS4S to DWS and actually prefer the Continentals even without price factored in.

Prius where road noise is the main concern, the Continental TrueContact Tour is usually the quieter of the two it rides softer and stays quiet even as it wears.

I have continental extreme contact are around $170 and I like them.

I’ve have Continental DWS06 Plus’s on my WRX for 3.5 years and haven’t slid in the snow once. I live in Western Pa and get about 27-35 inches of snow a year.

Nexen generally make ok products. Kumho and Hankook make better imo, but it will depend on how new the various options are in your size.

I got Nexen N5000 225 60 r18. It's slippery on wet surface (I can feel it especially on solid paint lines in the middle of the road) Got it 2 years now, and will never buy nexen again.
