The summer tires are Continental ContiSportContact Contiseal. That last part -- the Contiseal -- makes it a runflat. Apparently the tire is filled with some kind of goop that seals punctures.
Hey, no these Continental DWS 06's are quite good in snow, not sure why any of the car nerds on here would even doubt their ability. I've driven them in 6/8/10" of snow before and have never had any issue--though I'm driving a 4Motion Golf.
Just put a set of DWS06's on my Golf R. They are good and comfy and have "enough" grip but definitely not as grippy as the summer tires they replaced.
The DWS 06 Contis are very good. I run them on my daily year-round and have had zero complaints with them. They are very good for the money and a good chunk cheaper than the Michelins, though they have been creeping up a bit in price over the last few years
I liked Continental DWS06s on my G37 for the street.... they were quiet and had squishy sidewalls for comfort but were grippy AF.
My regular DWS06’s were amazing in the snow last winter.
I normally use Nokian Hakkapeliittas on my Golf and while they still have more than enough legal tread, I don't believe they're optimum for hardpacked snow. Unfortunately, there's a waitlist for new Nokians, so I'm going with Continental Wintercontacts, which have a sterling rating.
I have the Conti, corners well, good traction, pretty loud.
I have had the DWS 06 on my R for almost a year. Drove through Reno’s ridiculous amount of snow last year. They’re a good tire in fluffy snow and got me around no problem. When it gets more hard packed they struggle, but they’re an all season tire and I didn’t expect much there.
I did go with the Conti DWS initially. Hated the noise they made (see my post earlier). I like the P-Zero much better.
