Tires Continental or Laufenn
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.
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!
Used to use them but they’re downright dangerous in the wet and almost impossible to get on/off. Use Continental Grand Sport Race now which are almost as resistant but half the price and with a lot more grip. No punctures in 1,600 miles.
My 2013 Tig with continental contact-pro tires has just lost the 2nd tire to sidewall failure at only 30k mi. First was a blowout, thankfully while parked. Second was a slow leak. No known issue that would have caused side-wall failure. Never saw that before.
