Tires OEM BMW or Continental

Continental Extreme Contact DWS. Much higher quality than CC2.

For me I personally went with Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+, it's been great so far in the summer and wet conditions. Drove through a bunch of pot holes not long ago at a hiking trailhead, but at the end of the day wrx are gonna be stiff anyways. But the tires are still holding strong so far!

For a 2020 Fit in Chicago, the Continental TrueContact Tour is the single best choice great comfort, really solid rain/slush grip, and perfect for small hatchbacks; I’ve run them on a similar car and they felt planted without being harsh.

Only problem is the tires are transmitting way too much noise into cabin . But other than that it is an incredible ride.

I love the look of a bit wider tire and the Conti’s are awesome in wet conditions.

Continental contact urban are excellent tires! They come in many sizes, they feel nice and supple for a touring tire, very fast, lots of grip and good puncture protection.

Also ideally get low rolling resistance tires that can get you an extra 5% range next time you need new tires.

My wife got almost 60k miles out of her continental cross contact tires on her 2021 Honda pilot. I like Michelin tires but was really impressed with the continentals. I bought the updated version which are the LX25’s. I live in Nebraska and we get all the seasons. Might be worth a look

I run 315/30/18 ECF on my C5 base. I’m about 30 cycles in and they’re starting to die. They’re a good tire that gets up to temp pretty quick and last the whole session. That being said, they aren’t worlds grippier than the 275 conti ecs i replaced.

Just put on a fresh pair of Kryptotals on Bontrager tubeless ready rims. Took 4 hours and 7 plastic tire wrench’s to get both tires on. Getting them to seat wasn’t too bad.
