I got a set of Continental Viking Contact 7 tires for my Impreza last winter when the shop didn't have Blizzaks in my size and I couldn't be happier with them.
I put a set of Vredestein Quatracs on my wife's MB E350 4matic. They absolutely transformed the car for the better. I'd like to find some for my GTI. I highly recommend them.
I’m running continental extreme contact DWS06 ran me about $150 per tire.
What a difference with the Contes….sooo much quieter. Could be the excitement, but I feel like it’s a bit flatter in the turns.
2013 limited eco AWD on Conti DWS06. I came from an Audi A4 Quattro on Blizzaks in the winter. The Flex ain’t the Audi but it’s pretty good.
I bought these tires based on Tire Rack's review and it is spot on. The one word in the review that stuck with me and I'd have to agree with is luxurious. They feel that way. They are clear to me the best tires I've ever owned. And, I have been driving for more than 45 years. They are quiet, handle really well in both dry and wet.
Continental dws06 is the way to go. I put them on my
3 and love them.
I put on a set of the Conti's Extreme Contact DWS06 in 225/45-18, and they made a world of difference over the standard Turanzas (I have a base Turbo hatch). Better grip, better steering feel, quieter, and with the slight (I mean slight) increase in sidewall, better ride over bumps and stuff.
I rotate tires every 5k to keep even wear and am no longer a fan of Toyos ... Anyway, I'm hard on my car (ie: drive it like you stole it) and even with a track day under my belt, I'm doing better than 8-10k miles on my set of Contis although don't get more than 2 seasons out of summers (approx. 15k miles).
my conti-extreme got quite loud after they had worn a bit, although they were badly cupped.
