Tires Continental or Kormoran
I was running OEM Continental Conti-seal Pro-contact and was not very happy with price. Went through two sets and had issues with road wear and durability (slightest potholes wreck the sidewalls) so I decided to get a set of the Continental ProContact Extreme DWS. I got a great deal on them w/ a 70 rebate to boot. I find them far superior so far. Great dry/wet traction. Minimal road noise. I had them paired with a new set of Niche Targa 18's... hit a pothole in the first week (cant tell you how freaked out I was at impact!) but they kept going just fine. No sidewall damage, no bent wheel (compared to OEM wheel). Cant tell about winter though as I run winter wheel setup. I would recommend you check them out.
I am currently running Continental ContiSportContact 5P. They are even stickier that the ExtremeContact DWs I had on my W8. I have two summers on them and do not have any cupping, I have only have been rotating front-back.
Just put on four new 18" Conti Extreme Contact DWS tires on it and the ride is smooth and so very quiet.
I had a set of 4 matching Continental tires with about 90% tread left.
The DWS seems to work fine in everything.
I use conti motions :) get 6/7k miles before I change them.
Confidence inspiring in the wet due to the big recesses in the tyres that help to displace water, cheap enough and also no chicken strips :)
This is my first set of dsw and I like them. I had them when I lived in NJ and they were good. I recommend
I am on my 3rd set of Conti DWS tires. I got 60K out of the first two sets.
I'm on my second set of Conti DWS. I love them for the snow and are nice the rest of the yesr too.
I have the Michelin A/S 3s on my MKVI and am very happy with them, they replaced the OEM Contis that came with the car at around 40K.
