Tires OEM BMW or Continental

Continental Tires

They seems good through the MN winter, including 2 trips to the North Shore of Superior. It snowed both times, and we never had any issue with traction.

Pros: good traction
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Narrow, low-profile tires aren't as forgiving over potholes, especially when riding on the 20" wheels.

Cons: not forgiving over potholes
Vehicle: BMW

I decided to switch to Continental PureContact tires as they are better rated and less expensive and still are low rolling resistance. I haven’t noticed any loss in range.

Pros: better rated, less expensive
Cons: none
Vehicle: Nissan Leaf

PS - for what it’s worth, my snow tires are Continental WinterContacts and I’ve run them for about 6 years so far and I still have over 60% tread left. They’re fantastic.

Pros: fantastic, long lasting

I went through a few sets of DW's on my mk4. I finally caved and bought PSS's and will never go back. The wet performance was unreal on the DW's, but they left a lot to be desired in the dry after having some time with PSS's.

Pros: unreal wet performance (DW)
Cons: lacked dry performance (DW)

After a week with the DWS, I've decided to replace them with the OEM version of Pirelli all seasons. The DWS on my car aren't "loud", but the noise they do give off (high pitched whine) drives me nuts at highway speed.

Pros: smooth riding tires
Cons: high pitched whine
Vehicle: Volkswagen
