Tires Pirelli or Continental

My Volvo had a pretty new set of Conti DWS's and they worked well in mild snow and really nicely in the rain, even when they wore down into the "D."

I like Continental DWS on my R. They are a good set up for heavy rain and mild snow, and fairly cheap.

I have Continental 4000 700x25 tires. In 4000mi I got 2 flats and the tires look good for a few thousand miles more. Low rolling resistance, fast, great handling. I highly recommend Continental tires.

I have a pair of Continental Gator Hardshells. All I can say is that having them on my bike is like having a pair of Hulk's foreskin on my wheels. I ride in NYC so the streets can get pretty messy. Glass, twigs, metal shards, shrapnel, bullets, arrows, and the occasional mortar rounds are no biggie for these tires.

I dirve a 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX and when I moved to Colorado 2 years ago, I put on Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires. I love them! They are so much better than the OEM tires were. I've driven the car on mountain roads during heavy snow.

The Continental ExtremeContact DWS are fantastic tires, WAY better than any other AS I have run in the snow and the only AS tire that has allowed my to traverse my steep driveway in the snow, excellent in the wet and quite good in the dry while being pretty quiet.

I'm on my second set of PZero Nero A/S on my MKIV in 7 years. They handled a few decent snows that we had in MD/DC when I lived up there just fine. I have no complaints about them.

My 2012 GLI came with Pirelli PZero Nero A/S tires on it. It handles incredibly well, not sure how much of that is GLI and how much is the tires, but definitely no complaints here.

The GTI would have performed much better on the summer tires, those all-seasons really are terrible.

There's a vendor on the west coast that sells a couple of Continental tires, but I can't find the link. I didn't get them because, one, they were about $140 each, and two, according to owner reports on the Tire Rack, they're not that good a tire.
