Really happy with the Cooper Evolution winter tires-- we're on dirt at elevation and wanted a tire that could handle serious snow.
I got a set of Continental Viking Contact 7 tires for my Impreza last winter when the shop didn't have Blizzaks in my size and I couldn't be happier with them.
I’m running continental extreme contact DWS06 ran me about $150 per tire.
What a difference with the Contes….sooo much quieter. Could be the excitement, but I feel like it’s a bit flatter in the turns.
2013 limited eco AWD on Conti DWS06. I came from an Audi A4 Quattro on Blizzaks in the winter. The Flex ain’t the Audi but it’s pretty good.
Continental dws06 is the way to go. I put them on my
3 and love them.
I put on a set of the Conti's Extreme Contact DWS06 in 225/45-18, and they made a world of difference over the standard Turanzas (I have a base Turbo hatch). Better grip, better steering feel, quieter, and with the slight (I mean slight) increase in sidewall, better ride over bumps and stuff.
I have the continental ExtremeContact DWS! I had the same problem as you and after replacing them my hatch feels way more responsive and more sporty, i got them in the winter and they seemed to do really well with slush and ice
My biggest complaint about the Conti DWS's is their softer sidewall. I prefer a stiffer sidewall for a better turn-in. Other than that, I have heard good things about the Conti's.
My 2013 Tig with continental contact-pro tires has just lost the 2nd tire to sidewall failure at only 30k mi. First was a blowout, thankfully while parked. Second was a slow leak. No known issue that would have caused side-wall failure. Never saw that before.
