Well I know there are a ton of threads on tires, but I am strictly concerned with Continental tires. I am looking to get a new set 235/40/R18 for my daily driven stage 1 GTI (JB1). I have a dedicated set of winters (WS80 on 16" steelys); however, since I live in NE the weather changes in the spring/fall at a moments notice and is never consistent.
With that being said, I am not sure whether or not to go max performance A/S (DWS 06) or strictly summer tires. I haven't found many reviews for Conti's summer tires on the forums. The issue is the random temp swings which happen frequently. In the fall it will go down to a 30 high on a moments notice in September and then back up to 40-60 again for a month before it will be time to throw the winter tires on. For example, it was 60 for the last two days and then snow today. I am also concerned with the very low tread-life on the summer tires which I read can be very low for Conti's summer tires (TireRack).
Anyways...suggestions, go!
