Tires Tesla or Continental

Have had multiple sets of Continental tires on my R32, really can't go wrong with their DWS 06's. They are excellent all arounders.

Drove the car to pick up my daughter at the airport yesterday in the rain. Normally wouldn\u2019t do that but wanted to test the Conti wet traction. So far I\u2019m impressed. They\u2019re miles better than the stock Bridgestones

I put DWS 06+ on my 2016 GTI S at about 93,000 miles. At 142,000 I still have some tread left. They're far superior to the OEM Bridgestones (H rated? Seriously, VW?) I replaced those with TAs and they were pretty good, but the Contis are much better.

I have run Continental DWS 06 extreme contact all seasons on multiple vehicles and have been very impressed with grip. I would recommend these if you’re looking at replacements.

Not the 02 but I had a set of the Conti ECSs on my stage 1 MK7 R and loved them. Great wet traction, especially under power, and they were fairly quiet. I also have them on my current E92 M3 and they've stood up very well to two track days so far. Loads of dry grip.

I bought the Conti Sport 02's for my E63S and the grip is very good. If these can that much torque and weight, they should be a breeze with the R.

For summer i have been running continental extreme contact sports. They have been great and very grippy!

All season: Continental DSW06+

Summer: Michelin Pilot Sport 4S

Honestly though, the Continental’s held up great in summer too. Good in snow as well

I have had the best luck w/ Michelin Pilot Sports or Super sports. I have had several sets of the Continental Sport Contacts on different cars including the Golf R and they seem to wear out early with noise and balance problems sooner than I would expect. I have never had a set last more than 20K miles before the tread was gone and/or they start having noise/balance issues. They are GREAT tires up until that point, but they don't last anywhere near their published treadlife rating.

Switched from Continental Der Baron 2.6" to Dhf/Dhr (3c maxxterra) 2.8" combo. DHR has less grip on uphill and roots, which is really annoying after expecting something great, because everyone loves these tyres...
