As more car manufacturers cut costs and shy away from free car maintenance, Continental is embracing it by standing behind its new ExtremeContact DW and DWS by giving one of the best tire warranties in the industry. Not only is there a 60-day customer satisfaction ride guarantee and 72-month manufacturer workmanship limited warranty, Conti also offers Road Hazard coverage with free tire replacements for up to 12 months. To prove the company's confidence in its tires, these perks are offered in addition to the standard 50,000 mile limited treadwear warranty.
When it comes to choosing tires it always seems you compromise one area of performance for another. For increased dry performance you sacrifice wet performance, and for increased snow performance you sacrifice comfort on dry roads. With Continental's DWS you have everything you want in an ultra-high-performance all-season tire without giving up comfort, dry road capabilities, or reduced road noise. With the new ExtremeContact DW and DWS tires, Continental has you covered in any condition. -Anthony Gelinas

Volant Intakes' induction system for the present-gen VW GTI offers a unique design that blocks out engine heat to provide cooler air to the engine. It's engineered to pull air from both the front of the engine bay as well as from the inner fender to create an additional volume of cool ambient air. Made from X-link polyethylene plastic, the intake tubes and filter box offer improved velocity from smooth bends and a tapered design that can't be achieved with metal tubes. The sealed design prevents engine heat contamination, and the exclusive PowerCore air filter uses a nano-fiber filtration element and a fluted design that never needs oiling and reportedly lasts up to 100,000 miles before it needs to be replaced.
