I’ve got a 2021 Edmonda sl5 with the Aeolus pro 51 and upgraded to the gp5000 28mm and they were a great upgrade compared to the r1 it came with…
Pros: great upgrade

another one for DWS06+. I put them on my Passat this past spring. They are absolutely comfortable. I don't believe there is much noise from them; maybe I'm unaware or maybe i dont look for it? But I can certainly attest for the comfort and grip. They are still on my car, and we've had some 1*C weather these past few mornings. Still very grippy when quickly merging out of side streets, and grippy when taking onramps. Had previous experience with DWS06 on my old 3G TL. Really liked them then also. That was the only car i've owned and didnt have dedicated winter tires for. The DWS were great in the winter time, and gave me no trouble in souther ontario winters.
Pros: absolutely comfortable, good grip, great in winter
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I replaced the garbage Michelin Primacy A/S stock tires with the Continental DWS06+ in the stock size. My reasoning for not putting dedicated winter tires on this time around is: 1) We don’t get a ton of snow here in Chicago area, and even less than normal the last few years. When we do get snow, the roads by me are generally cleared pretty quickly. 2) I work from home now, so rarely would I need to go anywhere if there was a freak blizzard. 3) Got tired of doing the twice yearly wheel/tire swap, having to store them in my already small one car garage, the expense of purchasing a second set of tires and wheels, etc.. The + version supposedly addressed some of the previous shortcomings such as soft sidewalls, noise, etc..
Pros: addressed shortcomings
I have the Pilot A/S 3+ on my A5. Love them. Had them on my Golf R too. I'm generally a diehard Michelin tire guy, but the improvement of the DWS06+ over the Pilot Sport AS4 might make me switch were I need tires today.
Pros: love them
Vehicle:
Audi A5
The summer tires are Continental ContiSportContact Contiseal. That last part -- the Contiseal -- makes it a runflat. Apparently the tire is filled with some kind of goop that seals punctures.
Pros: seals punctures, runflat
Hey, no these Continental DWS 06's are quite good in snow, not sure why any of the car nerds on here would even doubt their ability. I've driven them in 6/8/10" of snow before and have never had any issue--though I'm driving a 4Motion Golf.
Pros: quite good in snow, no issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I went with the AS3+ because of the good wet braking and wet grip over the competition. It could be just me but Goodyear tires seem to wander sideways on the highway a lot. I notice I have to pay more attention to keep the vehicle centered in the lane.
Pros: good wet braking, good wet grip
Cons: wanders sideways on highway
Khumu Solus: 60,000 mile tread warranty. About $115/tire. Hard to tell on efficiency because it also got super cold right after I installed them, but they seem fine, and for the price and tread warranty, I will take a minor efficiency hit.
Pros: good price, tread warranty
Cons: minor efficiency hit
I cant think of a Michelin tire that i havent seen cracking prematurely
Cons: cracking prematurely
