My 2016 came with Dunlops that were garbage, replaced them at 25k with Continental DWS06s and it was like getting a brand new car. Highly recommend.
I'm running Continental DWSO6+'s and absolutely love them. I'm at stock size and got them for $640. I just drove during winter storm Izzy, and have zero complaints.
Personally, I went with the Continentals three weeks ago and love them.
We put the Viking 7’s on my wife’s FWD Tiguan and it’s been crushing these last two Wisconsin winters. Very pleased with them so far.
We put the Viking Contact 7's on our 2021 Golf. My 2019 Golf R has Nokian Haka R2's. Winter performance for the two tires is basically indistinquishable to me, which is very high praise as the Nokians have long been considered the best winter tire money can buy. The fact that the VC's are so much cheaper means that if I had to buy new winter tires right now for the R I would for sure get the VC's. Can't go wrong with them.
Had a DWS06, which I wore off.
Bought DWS06+, still riding those.
Excellent snow, ice and wet weather traction. Never had issues!
I'm very happy with mine too. Many years with Blizzaks and I think these are better for road nose, just as good in the snow.
I just got my 2022 Golf R and the dealership put those exact tires on for me and they are great!
I run DWS06s on the 19 cadiz... have been for ~48k now. The rears are still almost to the wear bars, and the fronts were replaced just over ~3k ago. I live in Lorton/DC area... commute into the city. Yes, they're squishy for the first 2k... then they square up.
As for tires, I'd absolutely recommend against getting Conti DW's. I got them to replace Michelin PSS' mainly because they were cheaper and I thought the drop off in performance wouldn't be as significant as the price difference but it is...Very significant. For a chill family car, DW's are great..for any kind of performance driving, they just aren't good enough. Traction is ok but the sidewalls are very soft and I could feel them rolling and giving away at the track.
