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.
Continental extreme contact DWS all-season. Best tire out there for all-weather conditions in my opinion. I've run a bunch of different setups on numerous cars (AWD S4, RWD 328i, FWD Acura TL-S), and I always like the DWS the best. Second best to me were Mich. contact sport A/S.
The DWS are great tires. I honestly had no problems in my girlfriend's Subaru with the stock bridgestone "no-seasons" until I bogged it in about 10" of fresh snow in the middle of the night (up to the doors), with the tires at the wear bars. I was impressed. The DWS are even better.
Agree with the Conti DWS. My son lives in Colorado and regularly heads to the mountains to ski. The DWS worked fine for him in his 2011 WRX.
I can recommend the tires that I use and have been happy with for a while now, the Continental DWS. It's the best all season tire I've used so far, and the one that has work best in the snow
you don't need studs, continental extreme contact dws are the best tires for chasing snow around colorado in an awd car.
When the tires are new, or in the first half of their wear, they are almost identical in their performance--both quiet, good wet/dry weather performance and decent in the snow. *But* when I had my bimmer, the Conti's got seemingly harder and louder on the second half of their wear---which is normal for almost any tire with not much tread left.
Just in case anyone is wondering ContiWinterContact TS810 S are the worst snow tires you can buy. I've got them on my car and as soon as snow hits they feel like worn-out all seasons. I think they were only designed for cold dry autobahns, not actual snow. Horrible.
