Tires Nexen or Continental
I ran the Continental Extreme Contact Force on my VA and it's a great endurance 200 tire.
I had Conti DWS 06+ on my MK7 GTI and my wife has them on her 2020 330xi on 19s. I can't say enough good things about them. Good balance of performance and comfort, they are more taut than Grand Touring tires but still comfortable around town and on long drives. They've worn evenly and have been excellent in all 3 season weather conditions
I ordered my spare from ECS Tuning for $228 (looks like it is now $259) last year and it arrived quickly and fit perfectly with no modifications needed. It is a brand new wheel with a brand new Continental tire, which I preferred over tracking down a used spare from a junkyard. The foam surround kit is completely unnecessary and just wastes space that can be used to store other supplies around the spare.
Continental dws06
UHP All Seasons are what your looking for. Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 or Continental DWS06+.
I've had Continental DWS06+ tires on my Passat for about 10,00 miles. Good all season tires, even light snow. Good tread wear, so far. Quiet. I'm happy.
After an absolute ton of research and talking to a lot of people, I decided on the Continental TerrainContact A/Ts. Compared to the stock destinations these tires have at least double the performance and grip in both snow and wet. They're a tiny bit louder on grooved surfaces, but it almost isn't noticeable. They feel a like the side walls are a little bit stiffer, which isn't a bad thing, but don't ride any harsher. Honestly, I'm very surprised at how much I like these tires.
I have no experience with this specific tire but I do know that a lot of Nexen tires I've seen previously wear rather fast.
DWS all day I switched this time around and regretted. I’m going back after 15k miles.
I just had a blowout on a brand new continentals. I’m going Michelin not trust in Continental ever again.
