Consider the quiet “Continental Cross Contact LX” all season. I was surprised at their quality
Ran those Conti’s on my wife’s E63S and was very impressed.
More grip than I expected in dry and wet plus incredible ride comfort.
I’ve had DWS06+ tires on mine for over three years now and haven’t wished for either summers or winters. I live in NC where we see the whole range of weather, minus heavy snowfall. When it’s hot out, the grip exceeds my skill level so I haven’t had an issue with traction. When it’s cold out, I don’t drive like a moron so I haven’t had an issue with traction.
Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 are the answer. I've been running them 10 years in the Oregon and have driven them in 20 degree conditions with no snow. No issues as long as you're not trying to treat it as a canyon run.
They handle great in the rain and even better in the sun.
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.
They aren't bad, but not great. They are basic tirees that will get you from point A to B. I just bought a set for my Buick Encore after having Continental tires. Drove cross country with them. Obviously not as good as the Continentals, but they are a safe, reliable, tire from a reputable brand. Keep them rotated during oil changes and you should be just fine.
Brand new Kryptotal FR tire, replacing an Assegai. Was able to easily get the tire onto the rim but unable to get the tire actually seated onto the bead and holding air.
they are pretty junk. Mine lasted about 2 years. But you get what you piad for
