Tires Pirelli or Continental

I ran 205 50 17 93W Continental All weather 3MPSF tires on 17x6.5 VW Gavia wheels last winter.

I have Conti Viking Contacts on at the moment. The contis are very quiet.

I specifically asked for the Continental VikingContact 8 on steel rims as the Contis have shown to be almost identical as the Nokian on snow and ice, but much better on cold dry roads and in rain. They also have better fuel economy and wear.

I lived in Chicago and had a summer/all season rotation on my tuned M240i, RWD. Never had any issues on my Continental DWS06 in winter once the roads were treated. They handled snow fine as any RWD, 400hp car should.

Had great experiences with Pirelli winter tires

I did upgrade the tires to a quieter Continentals, from the standard issue goodyear. Its quiet, smooth, comfortable on the 4800 mile trip I took.

I've run the DWS06 all seasons in winter with no problems.

Reifen: Continental ab Werk, schwalbe allround, schwalbe overland

I wouldn’t own take pirelli scorpions if someone paid me … they were horrible for me ,  in 2 inches of snow absolutely horrible

This summer, I swapped out my Pirelli's at around 21k on a 2021 EX. I was starting to hydroplane with minimal water on the road. Although costly, I'm glad I did. The new ones make the ride so much better.
