Amazing tire… I’m on my second set.
Awd on stock conti tires. This is my second winter…
Just point and hit the gas. The awd will figure it out.
I have Continental DWS06+ on my Mini Cooper SE w/ roulette wheels. They perform well enough for all seasons.
I like the Nokian WR G4 for my 16" wheels as it's a proper *all weather* and electric friendly (like most Nokians.) Not sure if they make them in a 205/45r17, but they are good for wet/cold/winter and just ok in the dry/warm.
I like the PureContact LS - it is a good mix of fairly quiet and good handling.
I would personally recommend that you get a tire like the Nokian Hakkapelita R3 or R5. They are by far the best winter tires I have used.
I’m on my second set of Continental Terrain Contact A/T tires on my 2014 Forester. Amazing in the snow, heavy rain, and the rocky dirt roads of Death Valley. Probably the best all around tire I’ve ever purchased.
I replaced the junk ProContact TX tires on my 21 SEL-P with ExtremeContact DWS 06+ a few weeks ago. Went to Mammoth this weekend, where it has been setting records for snowfall. The 4motion, along with these tires, performed fantastically well. Very pleased with them.
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.
OEM tires usually aren't great. Had pro contact conti's on the Tig and my Golf. They are just loud and hard.
