Currently on Continental winter contact TS860 235 35 19, cannot say a word against them in light and heavy snow conditions.
Continental DWS 06+. They are an awesome all season tire.
I run continental viking contacts on my NA because it was tough to find many options in the 15\" size. No complaints from me though I don't really drive it too much in the winter cuz the roads get salted around here so I only do it when it's warm enough that day that I can wash the underside off without the water freezing.
I use the Conti DWS06+ on my WRX. If you're going with an all season, that's my top recommendation.
I switched to a higher grade continental all season and they are stellar.
I use Continental Top Contact Winter Premium II (what a name...) and have been very pleased with them.
I bought a set of the Viking 8s this season, I've had them on for about a month now. Over the years I've had Yokohama IceGuards, Blizzak WS90s, Uniroyal Tiger Paw Ice and Snow, Firestone WinterForce and the X Ice Snow. The Conti's have been the best of all. Very very quiet, comparable to an all season, sure footed in a blizzard, did well in heavy ice fog and very good in the wet.
Snow tires have been one of the best decisions I made with my '25 WRX. I decided to go with the Continental Viking Contact 8, and my goodness, are they fantastic. In the Western New York area (Buffalo) we get dumped on regularly, and sometimes it doesn't let up. For years, I used all-seasons, but switching to proper tires for winter has made a difference like no other.
I have a set of wheels with Continental DWS 06+ on them. They do reasonably well even in snow.
Just put on a fresh pair of Kryptotals on Bontrager tubeless ready rims. Took 4 hours and 7 plastic tire wrench’s to get both tires on. Getting them to seat wasn’t too bad.
