I replaced my tires back in January with Continental TrueContact 54s and have no complaints, I live in the Phoenix metro so mostly clear, dry roads. The stock tires that were on it were pretty much gone after 31k miles.
They are great tires but an extremely close contender is the DWS06+ from Continental. They are both amazing in the UHP all season category. This is splitting hairs but in my experience the DWS have better wet performance
We just put the CONTINENTAL - TrueContact Tour 54 on our car (22 bolt euv) and we haven't noticed any loss of range and they've been great so far.
For better piece of mind, I also recommend Continental DWS06+. 3 years and close to 40K miles on them in my 370Z, they're just now at 5/32 of tread.
I just switched from the Michelin Pilot Sport AS4s to the Continental DWS06 Plus. I've put about 300 miles on the Continentals. The ride on the Continentals is noticeably smoother and quieter comparted to the Michelins.
Continental Extreme Contacts DWS plus 06 EXCEL in wet performance...It's ones I've probably had over 10 sets of 4 on different VW's over the decades, 17+ VW lots of miles, lots of driving previously. Current 2019 Golf rrrrrr is Conti Extreme DWS, superb stuff.
Continental truecontact tour. There's a newer version but as I understand it it's essentially the same tire. Much better handling in the rain. They were slightly noisy at first but I don't notice it anymore, that was probably just from the breakin period.
I swapped wheels for 16's and I think my fuel efficiency overall is about the same as before. City fuel economy may be slightly better because of lower wheel weight, highway economy slightly worse due to drag from less aero rims. But I'm not sure if there's really any difference.
Continental CrossContact LX25 (I bought these) offered good snow/ice and wet performance.
No issues other than one blown front Conti tire after hitting a small pothole.
My buddy had a set of them a long time ago, lasted forever but zero grip, like ice skating in the rain.
