I also have had bad experiences with conti tires both on my 2012 CC and my 23 Arteon. In both which I've owned since new the michelin pilot sports have been phenomenal.
Continental makes great tires. My favorite tires are Continental DWS 06+. I've ran them on 3 cars and will continue doing so indefinitely.
I had both road 6 and rosso 4 on my zx6r and i noticed a small difference between the two in terms of grip riding hard through curves the road6 felt good, the rosso only slightly better . Not really enough for me to justify getting rosso 4 again for now.
I run Michelin power 6.
3k miles and they look brand new.
Michelin; been caught in rain dumps on long trips and the michelins were fabulous. Solid in the dry and i felt safe in the wet as well.
I’ve left extreme contact sport tires on my car down to about 25F a few times. No flat spots. I’ve driven in 33-35F and they definitely had way less grip, but I was careful and it was fine.
Lots of people have mentioned gp5k, which are very fast, but continental also sells "all seasons" tires which are kind of best of both worlds between gp5k and gatorskin. Not quite as fast as 5k, not quite as much protection as gatorskin, but very close on both counts.
Continental tires are a bitch to take off and put on. Otherwise, I do stand by their durability and reliability. They're great tires, Gatorskin or not!
I would go with the ones that are the quietest. I have some Michelins with the V tread on a Lexus. Good tires but loud.
Your studs look super worn out and those tires are crap anyway dude. In Finland, you dont cheap out on a set of winter tires.
