Tires NITTO or Continental

Just got these to replace my OEM contis that lasted 40k miles. So far I’m loving the SRS+.

Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/45 R22

I’ve used Continental (very good), Hankook (good), Goodyear (good - worse handling in summer than Conti but excellent in winter, higher wear).

I ran the Continental Extreme Contact Force on my VA and it's a great endurance 200 tire.

I had Conti DWS 06+ on my MK7 GTI and my wife has them on her 2020 330xi on 19s. I can't say enough good things about them. Good balance of performance and comfort, they are more taut than Grand Touring tires but still comfortable around town and on long drives. They've worn evenly and have been excellent in all 3 season weather conditions

I ordered my spare from ECS Tuning for $228 (looks like it is now $259) last year and it arrived quickly and fit perfectly with no modifications needed. It is a brand new wheel with a brand new Continental tire, which I preferred over tracking down a used spare from a junkyard. The foam surround kit is completely unnecessary and just wastes space that can be used to store other supplies around the spare.

Got a this set of GP5000 28mm last year and have not many miles on them, maybe 300-400 mi. total. Shame to see this sidewall fail so quick, is it a fluke? What could have caused it?

Cannot stress this enough do not buy continental tires they’re shit their warranty sucks speaking from experience and trips to the Audi dealership to prove there’s nothing wrong with my car paperwork back-and-forth with Continental to try and get them to warranty my tires that disintegrated after 10 to 12,000 km Their crap Michelin pilot sport is the way to go

I changed my OEM Nitto Terra\u2019s that came on my Pro out last week for Baja Boss AT\u2019s after only 15K miles. They were scary dangerous on wet roads.
