Tires Pirelli or Continental

I ran the Continental Extreme Contact Force on my VA and it's a great endurance 200 tire.

I had Conti DWS 06+ on my MK7 GTI and my wife has them on her 2020 330xi on 19s. I can't say enough good things about them. Good balance of performance and comfort, they are more taut than Grand Touring tires but still comfortable around town and on long drives. They've worn evenly and have been excellent in all 3 season weather conditions

Testing out these PIRELLI CINTURATO WEATHERACTIVE tires. I’m impressed so far. Not bad at all.

Removed mine the first day. The actual removal of the blades may leave some plastic marring from the tabs- which rubs off pretty easily. HOWEVER- the longer you leave them on- the more dirt will get between the tabs and the wheel itself; this is what scratches the wheel

I ordered my spare from ECS Tuning for $228 (looks like it is now $259) last year and it arrived quickly and fit perfectly with no modifications needed. It is a brand new wheel with a brand new Continental tire, which I preferred over tracking down a used spare from a junkyard. The foam surround kit is completely unnecessary and just wastes space that can be used to store other supplies around the spare.

For the last few years there's been a lot of front left punctures, so they've capped the tyre stints at 25 laps on safety grounds.

I run the Discount Tireequivalent of the control\u00a0Contact sport all season on my scion XB daily. Quite as hard as ever put on that car, which has a lot of road noise. Sticks very well in the rain and heat, but I can\u2019t attest to snow as cited above. They did wear a lot faster than their rated mileage so I got money back on the mileage warranty when I put on a new set recently.

Last Pirelli set I barely got 3 years before the grip gave out.

Whatever the repair costs add on a set of new Michelin pilot sport 4s as pirellis are god awful in the rain. Had my car hydroplane in 50 degree medium rain weather in P zeros.
