Tires Pirelli or Continental

I use conti motions :) get 6/7k miles before I change them.

Confidence inspiring in the wet due to the big recesses in the tyres that help to displace water, cheap enough and also no chicken strips :)

This is my first set of dsw and I like them. I had them when I lived in NJ and they were good. I recommend

I am on my 3rd set of Conti DWS tires. I got 60K out of the first two sets.

I'm on my second set of Conti DWS. I love them for the snow and are nice the rest of the yesr too.

Ended up ordering the last set of Pirelli Sottozero 3s in the country from tire rack. I'm getting them installed today.

I have the Michelin A/S 3s on my MKVI and am very happy with them, they replaced the OEM Contis that came with the car at around 40K.

I put over 40k on my p zero tires with the mk6, I know people dog then but I was glad to get them again with my mk7.

Continental extreme contact DWS all-season. Best tire out there for all-weather conditions in my opinion. I've run a bunch of different setups on numerous cars (AWD S4, RWD 328i, FWD Acura TL-S), and I always like the DWS the best. Second best to me were Mich. contact sport A/S.

I thought the Pirellis were smoother and quieter than the Dunlops (all new cars here), but now that I am reading about how bad they become, maybe I am better off with the Dunlops

From my experience, when the pirellis start to go, they suck quickly. Didn't realize how bad noise / vibration was @ 20k until I got new Hankook v12s.
