Tires Continental or SUMITOMO
I like the dws06s solid option
I just put the conti viking contacts back on the s5 last week, and I need to get some winter tires for the sq5, I think I'm going with the sumitomo ice edge as we had them with the old a4 and they went through anything. I'll probably put them back on the s5 next year. We're in NH and go up north all lot for riding, plus we get decent snow and they're great for the $. Then it's wheel shopping for the sq5 for next year! It's so nice and easy to swap out winter/ summer wheels and tires.
I’ve been running the Continentals for a number of years now and will not switch to anything else.
DWS every single time
I've had both on my m340i (currently on the pzeros). Contis lasted 15k miles and were down to 1 mm. Iirc the contis also felt a tad bit floatier. Awesome dry grip on both. DWS were great in snow, have yet to go through a winter with the pirellis. 0 complains for either when it comes to heavy rain.
Continental DWS06+ on my performance.
Conti’s on my Audi & Pirellis on my R32. Both really good, but the Conti’s over Pirellis. I thought the Pirellis grip, but they stay softer. Conti’s have great grip thru the driving experience.
DWS06 all day everyday, twice on Sunday.. i ran them for 10 years on my Acura and Audis till i switched to PSAS4 bc they didn’t come in the size i needed. Great tires and tread wear is some of the best..
I had the PureContact LS before these. The PureContacts were slightly quieter, and also slightly smoother on roads, and because I didn't take the Extremes to the extreme, I can't say if/how much better they are at handling, but on paper they should be.
I would have stuck with the PureContacts, but I had a very unfortunate puncture that was unserviceable, and they don't make them anymore.
Those are junk . Had a set of them . They wore quicker then summer tire and the side wall is soft af
