The Continental DWS 06 were indeed better.
I've been very happy with the DWS06 for more than 100,000 miles.
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.
I tried blizzaks years ago and they were ok. Then I tried Vikingcontact 7's and have stuck with them for multiple vehicles.
Based on Tirerack reviews, I'm leaning towards the Continental Vikingcontact7 which I'll use from Thanksgiving until early March. Anyone tried these tires? If so, how would you rate them?
Vikingcontact7s. Not the absolute best tires out there, but I think the best for the price
If you want an all season, you can’t go wrong with Continental, or the Pilot Sport 4s summer tire like most suggest.
Agree on running them at higher pressure to help with squishy feeling. All around performance in inclement weather was pretty good. Mine got noisy earlier than I would have hoped for primarily long distance highway use even with proper alignment, balance and rotation.
I did go with the Conti DWS initially. Hated the noise they made (see my post earlier). I like the P-Zero much better.
