I also put Continental ExtremeContact tires on. While they recommended summer performance tires, I went with all-seasons. A little more sidewalk flex but I still had to drive it when conditions got below freezing.
i went from shitty $70 westlakes on my crown vic, to $230 a piece continental dws06+. felt like a completely different car and handles so much better.
I bought conti extreme contacts for my last set about 2 years ago,and i will only be buying conti extreme contacts from now on.
Upgrading from the stock tires to GP5000's will make much, much more of a difference than the wheelset upgrade.
I have the Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus tires on my SHO and absolutely love them. So far I have not had any issues with the lighter snows we have had here in northern Virginia.
You would be better off choosing Continentals ControlContact or Falkens Pro G5
Continental Premiumcontact 6 on my 2021 hybrid. Quite pricy but quiet and feel very safe and I had some emergency braking situations on a wet road. After 5k miles I'm still happy about this choice.
I'm very happy with the Continental Viking Contact 7 snow tires, they are surprisingly quiet on dry roads.
I run continental extremecontact dws 06+ on my golf. They’re the quietest tire I’ve found for the golf. The tires are ok. Not sport tires but have decent grip. Sidewall is a little soft.
Some people like them, I really hate them. I find them slow, hard and not grippy, not puncture resistant at all, heavy. My back wheel would just slide around on its own when it was wet out.
