Tires Nexen or Continental

I've been running continental contiprocontact, decently priced and great grip. They do me wonders in the rain.

I'm running Continental PureContacts which are an all season touring tire on the mk4. In rain they grip like a bitch. In icy conditions they grip like a bitch. In loose dirt, decomposed granite etc etc they grip like a bitch. They are phenomenal

I just installed the P7 Cinturato on mine a few days ago (235 45 18). They ride nice and handled the rain well. I had Continental PureContact w/Eco Plus for the last 40k. Those were excellent and still had 4/32 - 5/32.

I run the continental DW on my RC's and all I gotta say is I love them. It has a nice ride and they stick like no other!

I ran them on my 850 volvo for a while. Seemed to wear well and I had no issues.

My 2010 Golf TDI came from Germany with Continental tires and they were great in the rain.

Continental Extreme Winter Contacts!! from Ottawatiresdirect

I have these on my TDI for about 1 year now. I like them They didn't affect my MPG as I still get 41 MPG and the road noise is minimal. I too live in the Seattle region and have made multiple trip to Vegas and Salt Lake and the tires held up well. Glad I did, I feel that I have confidant cornering and good braking abilities with low road noise.

Conti ExtremeContacts are noisy. I have them on my Mazda5. The tires are especially loud when they are cold and moving at low speed. They feel like good tires and seem to wear well, but the noise factor alone makes me want to not keep them for too long.

I did go with the Conti DWS initially. Hated the noise they made (see my post earlier). I like the P-Zero much better.
