I'm at 4 sets of XL rated Conti DWS06+ now between 2 sets on my former '13 Golf R & the sets currently on my '20 S3 & '17 Alltrack & I've loved them for year round true all season use. Never used them on a 2WD vehicle but absolutely zero complaints on my Haldex equipped rides I've had them on in dry/wet/snow/ice/slush, hot/temperate/cold.
I run the Continental DWS06+ on my Mustang and have been very happy with them. They're not quite as sharp as the Michelin Pilot AS3 that they replaced, but that's ok for my daily driver. Adding 2 psi over the factory recommended pressures helped firm up the steering response and ride enough to keep me happy.
Continental DSW Extreme Contact is the best all season tire I have out on any of my cars. Dry/wet/snow…just all around an impressive tire.
Falken AT4W on my Jeep. Highly recommend them for your Jeep
I just changed to gp5k 30mm with tubiltos
Noticeably faster. Also went from 65 psi with 32 mm to 80 on the new 30s. And the tires let u know when the road surface is poor.
Just put these Conti Crosscontact LX25 on my Hyundai Sante Fe. So much better than the Kumho Crugen previously on that wore out very quickly (got 25,000 rotated every 7500 miles) and not quiet on the road. Yes the $110 rebate did help with the decision. Put on around 800 miles and pretty happy with them. Like other Conti, quiet on the road. There's less road feeling but for a family car, fine for my wife.
If I'm going to be out in off road or real snowy conditions I want my wildpeaks. It's not as good on the road as the defenders but it's reasonably close.
I can't speak to the defenders here but the Falken I have had 2 sets on my F150 I live in East Central Alberta so we can alot of snow and Ice and I loved the Falkens on Snow, Gravel, in the fields and the highway.
Continental tires are popular because they're cheaper than Michelin and Pirelli tires. Contis also last longer.
Every time this is question is posted, I have the same answer: Gatorskins suck, by the Conti 4 seasons. Yes gator skins are tough, but they also feel like they're made of soap when cornering in the wet. 4 Seasons are *so* much more supple.
