Tires YOKOHAMA or Continental

I'm based in Toronto, Canada, and I have two sets of wheels for my 2024 GTI. The summer set consists of 17 inch wheels with Conti Extreme Contact II tires. These are pure summer tires, very quiet and excellent traction.

My geolandars did well in winter, with 2wd.

Replaced with Yokohama Geolandars AT XD (GO17). Decent in the snow, and I feel as though they're better than KO2's/AT3s (owned both).

Yokohama Geolander AT or Extreme AT . Awesome tires in all weather conditions. They are good tires though.

Got a set of 4 of them for my 2010 4x4 5.7L and they are fantastic in the extreme winter and rain in the Northeast.

Yokohama Geolanders for tires. Drove another ~50 miles on packed snow roads once I hit the NMW and had zero issues with traction or sliding around.

The Yoke Advan Apex 601 was a damn good tire for the price. I moved to supercar 3's and it was only slightly faster.

I have continental tires after the OEMs needed replacement-

Very happy with them - mileage etc no change that I can see - quieter also

I am considering two options with one of them being a T rated tire. However, it has deeper treads and it is actually a known brand. I know that a T rated tire will decrease performance and safety but is it worth it over an unknown brand?

I was desperate to find something to replace my GP5000's after they got their 6th puncture in the space of 4 months of riding. Threw them in the trash.
