I’ve owned both AS4 and DWS 06 and would recommend the DWS 06 for your use case. better wear characteristics and more grand touring / balanced street comfort vs performance compared to AS4. AS4 is a fantastic tire - but I would only run it on a performance car like GTI, R. It was overkill on my Alltrack. I liked the ride on my GTI with AS3+ a lot though. I’ve ran the DWS06 on my gf’s JSW TDI for 3 years 30K miles now and they look new, barely any wear. I also live in Philly and the DWS are super forgiving in 235/45/17. Much more than the AS4’s I had in 235/40/18 on the Alltrack.
I recently got some continental extreme contacts dw 06 plus. I noticed a much better ride and grip than the pirelli tires. The tire chirp is noticeable less than before.
Continental ExtremeContactSport DWS 06 Plus I just put a new set of the above (225/40/18) on my Winter wheels which are VW OEM Sevilla. They came on the 35th AE Jetta GLI. I had the DWS 06 and 06Plus on my MK5 and MK7 GTI - love them for an A/S tire. They are quiet, ride nice, superb wet grip, excellent dry grip, pretty good in Midwest snow.
Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ is the answer you are looking for, but its not on your list. Best all-around performance all-season on the road. Great in the dry, the wet, and snow, warranteed to last 50K miles, and shouldn't break the bank.
I’ve bought ultra sports before on aliexpress, came with the box and is no diff visually and physically feeling it in comparison to my worn set. There’s no other way I can verify.
In terms of riding, feels the same as my previous set.
I've got the Continental CrossContact RX's on mine and I've been very satisfied. 20,000 miles in 16 months with no issues. Amazingly quiet, I intend to replace with the exact same tire when the time comes.
I just replaced the tires on my 2015 6 with Continental Extreme Contact DWS06s, and they are awesome. Quiet, good feel, a little less busy in the center (which makes them great for long miles on the freeway), and soooo much super confident grip.
Just bought the BFG Comp 2 A/S from Sam's. I like them, the guy who put them on seemed to really like them, and I see them recommended a lot.
My wife bought a new Golf R. 19” wheels with Continentals. In no time at all she hit a pothole and pinched a tire which required replacement. I immediately put a space saver spare in the car.
They were better OEM tires than the Continentals that came on a previous Mercedes Benz or several VWs. I have *nothing* good to say about Continentals; bad experience every time.
