Tires Toyo or Continental

Some of the best tires I ever ran were a set or Conti Sport Attack's

I got 32k miles out of my OEM Continentals - I could have pushed them for another 5K miles (I’m in the desert so no snow and limited rain). That’s good enough for me, so I got another set about a week ago.

I’m getting the same continentals again. They’re whisper quiet.

I have carbon wheels and ride very rocky trails 6-8 hours/week. I use Kryptotal Fr and Kryptotal Re, both in enduro soft, and I don't use inserts. They are great tires. Excellent grip, fast rolling.

I highly recommend the Toyo Celsius 2, it’s honestly the closest thing to a designated snow tire you can get. Toyo Celsius is built with double steel belts down the side wall and beautifully directed sipes to help your car navigate snow, ice, rain etc. It is a Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated tire qualified for severe snow conditions. Summer or winter this tire delivers driving comfort, wet weather grip and traction for heavy or light snow. It’s a true year round tire capable of navigating all weather.

Bit late, but I've ran Extensa HP II's on my car for the last 45,000 miles and just bought another set as my tread is down to the wear indicators. Wife's Passat also has the same tires. They've been great.

It may not be universal, but I can tell you from my experience, Continentals and damn good tires.

Toyo m588 16 ply or Goodyear work horse we run em on mixers and have decent luck with them lasting the life of the tire.

Maybe I just got lucky. I used to always get Michelin's, but my CC came with Conti (Pro Contact I think), so went for them again, and then picked another Conti that is a little sportier (not DWS06, just PureContact LS), and they have been OK. Steering feel hasn't been as good as with Michelin, but I did not experience any problems.

Every time this is question is posted, I have the same answer: Gatorskins suck, by the Conti 4 seasons. Yes gator skins are tough, but they also feel like they're made of soap when cornering in the wet. 4 Seasons are *so* much more supple.
