Tires Tesla or Continental

Continental Tires

Based on Tirerack reviews, I'm leaning towards the Continental Vikingcontact7 which I'll use from Thanksgiving until early March. Anyone tried these tires? If so, how would you rate them?

My 2016 came with Dunlops that were garbage, replaced them at 25k with Continental DWS06s and it was like getting a brand new car. Highly recommend.

Pros: like getting a new car
Cons: were garbage
Mileage: 25000 km

I'm running Continental DWSO6+'s and absolutely love them. I'm at stock size and got them for $640. I just drove during winter storm Izzy, and have zero complaints.

Pros: absolutely love them
Cons: none

We put the Viking Contact 7's on our 2021 Golf. My 2019 Golf R has Nokian Haka R2's. Winter performance for the two tires is basically indistinquishable to me, which is very high praise as the Nokians have long been considered the best winter tire money can buy. The fact that the VC's are so much cheaper means that if I had to buy new winter tires right now for the R I would for sure get the VC's. Can't go wrong with them.

Pros: indistinguishable winter performance, cheaper price

I've had 2 failures with Continental tires.. One was the DWS and the other was a ContiSport?.. both were sidewall failures. The ContiSport tire broke its band, and the tire became distorted, while the DWS tires softer sidewall was cut open when my wife hit a pothole.

Cons: sidewall failures, tire distorted
