Tires Toyo or Continental

I ponied up the money for a new set of Continentals (Purecontact with ecoplus) because my previous set last 50K miles and had excellent grip throughout. They did become loud towards the end.

I was running OEM Continental Conti-seal Pro-contact and was not very happy with price. Went through two sets and had issues with road wear and durability (slightest potholes wreck the sidewalls) so I decided to get a set of the Continental ProContact Extreme DWS. I got a great deal on them w/ a 70 rebate to boot. I find them far superior so far. Great dry/wet traction. Minimal road noise. I had them paired with a new set of Niche Targa 18's... hit a pothole in the first week (cant tell you how freaked out I was at impact!) but they kept going just fine. No sidewall damage, no bent wheel (compared to OEM wheel). Cant tell about winter though as I run winter wheel setup. I would recommend you check them out.

I am currently running Continental ContiSportContact 5P. They are even stickier that the ExtremeContact DWs I had on my W8. I have two summers on them and do not have any cupping, I have only have been rotating front-back.

Just put on four new 18" Conti Extreme Contact DWS tires on it and the ride is smooth and so very quiet.

I had a set of 4 matching Continental tires with about 90% tread left.

The DWS seems to work fine in everything.

I use conti motions :) get 6/7k miles before I change them.

Confidence inspiring in the wet due to the big recesses in the tyres that help to displace water, cheap enough and also no chicken strips :)

This is my first set of dsw and I like them. I had them when I lived in NJ and they were good. I recommend

I didn't have as much tire noise with the Bridgestones as I do now with my Toyo Proxies ZR4's. These tires can get a bit loud, especially around 40 mph and at 80 mph.

After a week with the DWS, I've decided to replace them with the OEM version of Pirelli all seasons. The DWS on my car aren't "loud", but the noise they do give off (high pitched whine) drives me nuts at highway speed.
