Tires Pirelli or Continental

So far I think the continentals transition response actually matches MINIs personality better, despite it having lower absolutely grip.

I’m rocking Conti PureContact LS’s on my 14 hatchback and they’ve been awesome

Mines a daily driver and I run continentals for snow and heavy rain. The only way your slipping with them is if your trying to.

My 2014 Passat SE w/roof came with Conti's 63,000 miles. First replacement set were Pirelli Cinturano P7 all season plus. Great tires, except in wet conditions.

I think the pirelli’s are great tires.

I love my Sports. This summer will be my second season on my current set. Only have about 11k on them so far.

The Sports are a phenomenal tire though. They handle my IS38 with ease and boy do they feel amazing in the mountains.

I agree, they are a phenomenal tire that is very well rounded.

continental extreme contact sports after 1 year and 20k milesof hard driving, a pretty great tire if you asked me

I have Conti-Extreme Contact DWS06's on her from fall-spring (right now I have summers on.) today the temps were at around 57* and they were most certainly squirrely until they warmed up. They are a good overall tire but they will break loose (both all season and summer) if you have enough HP. they're a good all season tire. but I wouldn't push them to the limits. they are predictable also and I've pushed them in the corners with satisfactory handling.

My car comed from factory with the Pirelli's P7 and, as others have pointed out already, they wear faster than others brands (at least compared with Bridgestone, Dunlop and Continental) and they badly cope with water. Really scary shit if the road is even a little wet. Not recommended.
