Yep, another recommendation for the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06+. I have these on my TT, and my son has them on his R32 and GTI. I really like them. My next tires for my Dodge will likely be these tires. They are great in the rain and dry, they're not loud, and they are decent in light snow, but they are certainly not snow tires.
good tyres got a set on my 01 TT, handling, ride, + traction is great but not a lot of miles on them as this is my summer fun car!!
I have the Continental ExtremeContactSport DW and have been pretty happy with them for the price.
The Conti’s seem to be the best bang for the buck (as were the departed DW).
I actually also like the NT-05 for track days primarily for the price. They are about as good in the dry as the RE-11's, better than the PSS but tend to get a bit noisy on the highway at certain speeds once they start to wear down.
My Michelin Alpins were outstanding in the snow
Cheap it out on 4 x Winrun tyres from China lol. They actually not bad. I had them on my TT mk3 trashed the tyres hard, driving on the edge of cliff with bold treads & before upgraded to pilot 4s. Slight improvement since having the 4s upgrade but I can’t justify the price. Those winruns are absolutely good enough. Did not feel too much difference.
I had Kuhmos on both of my MK1 coupes (summer tires, never tried all seasons). They were quiet and comfortable until they weren't. Seemed to be a cliff you go over with them wear-wise. They were great, then very quickly you would get the noise/pounding "change me" stuff. But for the price they were hard to beat. Switched to the PSS on my MKII based on this forum. The Contis were out of stock and I couldn't wait, but they were also a possibility. Ran the PSS tires one season and they were very nice. Still had good performance in both wet and dry compared to the Kuhmos. Can't give you longevity since I traded that buggy in on my present TTS which came stock with Toyos, but I could have made at least one more season on them.
My setup is 19" DPE's with 8.5" wide front wheels on 225/35/19 Nitto 555 extreme tires which have good grip from what I've seen so far and a 10" wide rear wheels on 245/35/19 Falcon 452's... The Nitto's are more expensive but I've been told they wear down slower and have better grip than the Falcon's...
I've had NT05's on my TT and they lasted one season, and I couldn't drive in the rain.
