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\u2019ve never had a problem with my Continental DWS06 plus\u2019s. 2 winters coming up on third and haven\u2019t slipped or slid ONCE in western pa winters. Highly recommend.
Continental All Season Contact aici. Fabricate in Romania la Timisoara, trei ani vechime timp in care am parcurs 98.000km cu ele. Da. 98 de mii. Mers 98% in regim de autostrada pe autostrazi europene. Adancimea profilului este de 3.9-4mm acum - asa ca urmeaza schimbul.\u00a0
most WRX folks I know (including me) have had really good results with the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ since they’re way smoother, handle NJ winters decently, and take the edge off rough roads without killing the sporty feel
The SportContact 6 have been disappointing in a few areas: poor rolling resistance, high wear, and noticeable road noise. I’d like to improve on those aspects while keeping good wet grip. I don’t mind a bit less dry handling — the SportContact 6 are insanely good there, but I’m not tracking the car, so that level of performance isn’t really necessary for public roads.
I’m using the Continental 5000 TR S 32mm running tubeless.
Everytime I ride I get a puncture! It’s crazy and not sure why. I used one of the tire calculators and it has me at 68psi front, 70 rear.
Rode with a buddy couple weeks back who has the same tires and he got a puncture so bad on the rear it wouldn’t seal, we had to put a plug it.
I might try lowering the pressure and see what happens. Tires are new…
