Tires NITTO or Continental

I've been very happy with my Nittos. In Australia, used on a work 4wd that does roughly 90% on-road, 10% access tracks.

I’ve ran g2’s since 2014ish. I’ll never own another tire. They perform well, last up to and OVER the 60k warranty, ride well and look great. I recommend them to everyone.

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.

I run ridge grapplers. They do pretty good in Colorado’s snow.

I wanted to post my thoughts after a first winter drive with these Contis. They are stock 19" tires on my R and came with the vehicle. The VikingContact 7s have been more than excellent. Compared to the Conti TS830s, I definitely do not feel like I am at times running a summer tire in the winter. For this winter I feel completely confident in bad conditions like the X Ice 3 was. However, the HUGE plus is on dry conditions which happens a lot during winter here. I always felt the slight sponginess of the X Ice 3 (18s would have made a difference for sure), but these VikingContact 7s in dry are spectacular. They truly do everything in winter extremely well, and I would never think of buying another tire again...they are that good.

The Conti’s were smooth, but their steering feel was just too soft and mushy for me, if that makes sense. The Michelins are a perfect balance, I feel.

I had them on my 2013 GT. They did not hook up well, and I was stock. They were also noisy. I’d choose something else.
