I got over 55,000 out of the factory Giti so I bought another set from the dealer.
Get a good pair of Continental Extreme Contacts.
I bought continental sw06 extreme contact. I like them.pair on wife's tdi and the mk7.5 gti.not Michelin but they work all yr round.
Dws06 here. The rain grip is wow. The snow grip is snow tire like for me in Western NY where I need it. Dry grip is fine. Best all season tires I think I've ever had.
I got extreme contact dws06 on mine. I love them. Great grip in wet and dry conditions for 30% less than the Michelins. Super quiet too
I don’t have an S5. I have an A7. I had the Pirelli’s just put the Continental DWS06 Plus on and in my opinion, they ride way better.
I’m running gp5000 AS TR in 28s they’ve been great.
The DWS06s are great all-season tires but are a bit softer of rubber, if you live in the south where its routinely over 100 degrees (even hotter on the pavement) i'd pick something else as a summer tire. I ran them on my 2014 Mustang GT year round and had no issues getting anywhere in the snow.
P.S DWS stands for Dry Wet and Snow and can be determined based off which of those letters are still on how deep the tread is
I have a set of wheels with Continental DWS 06+ on them. They do reasonably well even in snow.
Oh heck no to the Conti's unless you like a super soft sidewall that likes to bubble when it passes by a pothole let alone hits one. I don't get the fascination with them other than the price. I ran them on my old GLI and they were neither good in the rain/cold nor really all the special in the dry.
