Tires OEM Mazda or Continental

I have the Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus tires on my SHO and absolutely love them. So far I have not had any issues with the lighter snows we have had here in northern Virginia.

You would be better off choosing Continentals ControlContact or Falkens Pro G5

Continental Premiumcontact 6 on my 2021 hybrid. Quite pricy but quiet and feel very safe and I had some emergency braking situations on a wet road. After 5k miles I'm still happy about this choice.

I'm very happy with the Continental Viking Contact 7 snow tires, they are surprisingly quiet on dry roads.

Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02s are a bargain for a flagship summer tire that's excellent in the rain. I have them on my Si and run them daily and for autocross. While not as as sticky as a 200TW summer tire, they are really great in dry or wet conditions, and reasonably priced. I also had DWS06+ on my previous daily, a 2013 328i, and I liked those too.

I think a good tire is [Continental Tour] with a skin wall. It's made for Dynamo and includes a light safety belt.

I use it on my old bikes.

I had Continental DWS 06+ on my 2023 BRZ with a different wheelset and was extremely happy with them. I specifically tested them for grip in the wet and they were way better than the summer performance Michelin those cars come with as standard.

I went from the stock Firestone Destination M/T on my Willys Sport to the Continental TerrainContact A/T and they’re fantastic. My job changed and I have to highway drive about 100 miles round trip everyday. It was a huge difference. Quiet, great ride (for a Gladiator) and my mpg improved, I regularly get 22-23 on the highway with occasional 24-25 vs the sub 20 on the M/Ts. I can’t speak to the off-road element on these, I haven’t had an opportunity. Give them a look.

Continental tires are popular because they're cheaper than Michelin and Pirelli tires. Contis also last longer.

I would not buy Conti Pure contact LS again, they long lasting, grip and performance looks good but they are too harsh for me ( 225/50/17 has 98V load index)
