Tires OEM Audi or Continental

I have the DWS 06 on my RS and I LOVE how they feel and drive.

Continental extremecontact dws06+

I had ExtremeContacts on my golf and loved them except they didn’t last as long as I expected. Then I got Pilot Sport 4s since they were on sale at the same price as the contis. they’re a bit louder but a bit grippier.

I had a friend with Blizzacks on his WRX, and I put the equivalent Continental WinterContacts on my WRX. Mine wore less over time and I commuted more, were slightly cheaper at the time, and felt like they performed a little better.

Big fan of the Continent Winter Contacts for my Passat in 215 width. They were quite a bit less than Michelin's at the time. I'll buy them again.

I recommend Continentals. High quality tires, in general high lifespans and good grip. Good ride quality and low noise.

Ive used trail kings on my old 26 hardtail for many years. I think theyre actually pretty great. The black chili rubber coumpound is good, theyre such a nice blend of grip and rolling speed. They have held up and been pretty durable as well.

I run Continental TrueContact 225/70/16 now. They are stickier than the Michelins, especially in wet conditions, and I regularly get 26+ mpg in my E.

I had this same model on my prior VAG vehicle (in 245/40R19) and pretty typical for OEM tires: smooth ride, reasonably quiet, handles ok (both dry & wet), and can cope with an early- or late-season light snow when you're caught unexpectedly w/o your winter or all-weather tires.

I'm not happy at all with the OEM Continental ProContact TX . I had a sidewall blowout (photo below) on I-40 in AZ with less than 1500 miles on the car.
