Tires Pirelli or Continental

Nekem a focus rs-en winter contact van es nagyon meg vagyok vele elegedve

Kupio continental all season contact. Zime su postale slabe kod, bar u BG.. Na planine ne idem, tako da od mene preporuka za all season.

Din experienta personala, Pirelli (Sottozero 3) sunt clar peste Nokian (le-am avut in paralel pe 2 masini). O sa mai iau tot Pirelli.

Personally I prefer Continental a little more for the pricing to performance advantage they offer (admittedly subjective). You do still pay a little for the name but it's not as painful of an upcharge as Michelin and their comparable lines in my size are over $50/tire cheaper. Recently I even lucked out and they're preferable to my prior Defenders.

Pirelli were nicer to drive on in the dry.

The Continental Viking Contact 7 is the best winter tire I've ever driven on and the sneak peak I've had at the Viking Contact 8 looks like they've made it even better.

I like how little noise they make, their performance on both snow and ice, and how the treads don't fold over on one another.

For posterity, I've been running 235/45/18 Conti DWS06+ w/ no issues on the stock 18x7.5 ET45 Canyons lowered on Golf R front & Golf R Variant rear springs w/ Koni SA dampers for a little over a year: I think it's just about the perfect amount of sidewall myself, but would prefer another half inch of wheel width for flushness & sidewall contour.

The road hugger and kumho are pretty good budget tires. The continental is a nice high end model. And the sentury is pretty bad.

I had two cars that had pirellis, a VW GTI and. Corrado G60, I found them to be super stiff and prone to blowouts if I hit a pothole, hell it seemed like they’d blow if I saw a pothole! Pirelli got crossed off my list 25 years ago

Used to work at a tire shop 2010-2014. In their price range, we had the most trouble with Pirelli’s. Customers would complain about the ride or noise more often than other brands and they’d get them exchanged for Michelins or Yoko’s. They also arrived with more factory defects compared to others.
