I ran 205 50 17 93W Continental All weather 3MPSF tires on 17x6.5 VW Gavia wheels last winter.
I have Conti Viking Contacts on at the moment. The contis are very quiet.
I specifically asked for the Continental VikingContact 8 on steel rims as the Contis have shown to be almost identical as the Nokian on snow and ice, but much better on cold dry roads and in rain. They also have better fuel economy and wear.
I lived in Chicago and had a summer/all season rotation on my tuned M240i, RWD. Never had any issues on my Continental DWS06 in winter once the roads were treated. They handled snow fine as any RWD, 400hp car should.
I did upgrade the tires to a quieter Continentals, from the standard issue goodyear. Its quiet, smooth, comfortable on the 4800 mile trip I took.
I've run the DWS06 all seasons in winter with no problems.
I run continental viking contact 7s. love em.
DWS06+ is a great choice for A/S IMO. I think I prefer them over actual summers as a daily tire for summer as well: better tread life, better ride, nicely communicative, & plenty of grip for open road endeavors IME.
I wish mine had had all seasons, they'd have suited me better. I got ecoContact6's.
pls dont get Conti CC line. its garbage wet grip.. Only good for comfort/noise. But that is not worth sacrificing safety.
