The Continental DWS06 is a huge step up for daily use and they hook noticeably better, but they’re still an all-season, so don’t expect drag-radial levels of grip you’ll still chirp a bit if you launch hard.
I have the DWS06+ on my 24 PP, world of a difference versus the perelli summers that came stock. Truly felt like I would die on those things sometimes
If you just want the best real-world pick for a Golf in 205/55R16, skip the test charts and go straight for the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 it consistently lands top-3 across every test because it nails wet grip, winter traction, and tread life without the noise/harshness of CrossClimate.
Continental tires by chance?
I love the continentals, no matter the weather these things stay planted. Great grip and durability. I have bought 3 sets over the years and for my GTI it’s all I’ll buy.
I’m running Continental WinterContact TS 860S SSR snow tires in Maine. Made it 50-something miles to work Christmas Eve in at least 6” of unplowed snow out to the highway (including at least a 12” deep and wide bank at the end of the driveway with no momentum). Packed snow on the highway, and a fluffy snowbank as tall as the hood at the end of an off-ramp. That was just one of many adventures these tires have gotten me through between this winter and last.
We moved to Sailun eRange tires on our Leaf. They have been fantastic for efficiency and holding up well.
I bought Sailun E-range designed for EV. They cost less than others EV tires. So if they last less than expected, I will had save the equivalent of 1 tire. Until now they last.
Sailun seems to be decent but my dad had some scary experiences in the rain with a pair of SH408s. IME, they ride decent but felt a little squishy/squirrelly.
What kind of winter tires are those? Look more like summer tires with sipes and studs in them.
Edit: Did a Google Lens and found them. Sailun Ice Blazer WST3.
The reviews I found absolutely slaughtered them. A car owner organization here had never tested worse tires when they tried them back in 2019 heh.
Either way those were probably gone last season as well. I never drive with less than 3mm of thread depth on mine.
And they were overinflated as the wear is mostly in the middle.
