Tires OEM Chevrolet or Continental

I'm on my second set of Continental Extreme Contact DSW06 Plus for my XC60. I bought them because i want tires that won't let me down if I have to maneuver hard at high speed, have good heat tolerance, and have superb wet weather grip. I love these tires. They're not as soft a ride as some tires but they've never slid on me. I took my last set down to 2/32 and even then it had rock solid grip in the rain. The other nice part is that Continental warranties these to 40k miles and stands by it. I killed my last set in a little over 30k because of how I drive. They refunded me roughly 25% of what I originally paid for them which I put towards a new set. If they're still making these when the current set burns out I'll buy them again.

Consider the quiet “Continental Cross Contact LX” all season. I was surprised at their quality

Ran those Conti’s on my wife’s E63S and was very impressed.

More grip than I expected in dry and wet plus incredible ride comfort.

I’ve had DWS06+ tires on mine for over three years now and haven’t wished for either summers or winters. I live in NC where we see the whole range of weather, minus heavy snowfall. When it’s hot out, the grip exceeds my skill level so I haven’t had an issue with traction. When it’s cold out, I don’t drive like a moron so I haven’t had an issue with traction.

Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 are the answer. I've been running them 10 years in the Oregon and have driven them in 20 degree conditions with no snow. No issues as long as you're not trying to treat it as a canyon run.

They handle great in the rain and even better in the sun.

I ran 205 50 17 93W Continental All weather 3MPSF tires on 17x6.5 VW Gavia wheels last winter.

I have Conti Viking Contacts on at the moment. The contis are very quiet.

Want a real out there suggestion. The 2017 Chevy Bolt EV. Kind of a rare car. But my dad had one and it was an absolute blast. 200 hp and 266 ft/lb torque that was *instantly* available made the car way faster than you would have ever guessed. Once you ditched the terrible economy tires on it, it handled incredibly well because all the weight was way down low. It was also really well balanced because, while front wheel drive, most of the weight was in the middle - so it didn't really act like a typical front wheel drive car.

Pirellis are probably getting rock hard with age. I've got a set of conti dws06+ on my 2018 that are getting slick despite plenty of tread, same reason.

Race kings were more durable but they sucked on cornering on switch back tarmacs. You couldn’t push them at all thru corners on pavement. I just found myself avoiding tarmac entirely with race kings.
