The Continental DWS 06 were indeed better.
I've been very happy with the DWS06 for more than 100,000 miles.
MT21 front and D606 rear, both great wear on slab
The D606 rear had a nice price/off-road grip/road handling/distance. I’d get about 4500km before the rear needed changing which was not to bad for the price. The only negative I have with the D606 is it’s not great on wet bitchumen. Very easy to lock the rear and go sideways with the slightest dab of rear break.
Used up two sets on my Xr650l and love them. A bit noisy on the pavement but great off-road
D606 are really good for the street. I had them on my drz400 and the street cornering grip was amazing. I could hang with any other bike on the tight roads. They're not going to like high speed over 65mph. No complaints on the wear.
I can recommend ExtremeContact™ DWS06 Plus . The stock falken are not even sedan tires and actually added from cx 5. I have noticed improved braking distance, no wheel spin due to low end torque, sharper cornering and better tracking, much improved grip in 1-3’’ snow and overall winter driving experience.
I had these installed on my 2016 GT last April:
Continental Extreme Contact DWS06
I don’t do much driving anymore (COVID work from home plus I drive my Miata when the weather is good) but over approx 10k miles I’ve been perfectly happy with them.
You will never get the q4 hot enough and will be more prone to low side, the exact thing you are trying to avoid.
I just replaced the OEM Conti TXs on my 15 Passat. Those tires were good only in dry weather-they lost traction from a start in wet weather and I actually got stuck in about 2\" of snow on a slight rise by my house.
