I have the Conti, corners well, good traction, pretty loud.
Continental DSW06, might be able to find older model (not the + I think) for cheaper.
We put Conti VikingContact 7 on the Passat last winter. They are fantastic. They've actually scared me more than once when I realized that I just drove thru stuff I should be careful on but never even noticed it.
I have the new VikingContacts on the AWD Alfa and they are even better. Both the Generals and Contis responded better at warmer temps, if that matters to you.
Continental. Had it for about a year now. Love them. Have had Pirelli and BFGs on previous cars but the Continental's are the best tire I've ever had.
I have Continental winter tires and am happy with them, but they are a bit expensive.
I have both currently and they’re both great tires
Continental DWS 06 or the new DWS 06 Plus that was released earlier this year is my go-to for all season.
Agree on running them at higher pressure to help with squishy feeling. All around performance in inclement weather was pretty good. Mine got noisy earlier than I would have hoped for primarily long distance highway use even with proper alignment, balance and rotation.
My stock contis didn't last 20k miles which blows in my book and braking was not good. I'll probably fork out for Michelin mxm4 and be set for a few years.
