From my experience between PSS and CSC05's The Contis are a lot less sticky (comparatively anyway) and have a bit more flex.
Pros: more flex
Cons: less sticky

I have Conti-Extreme Contact DWS06's on her from fall-spring (right now I have summers on.) today the temps were at around 57* and they were most certainly squirrely until they warmed up. They are a good overall tire but they will break loose (both all season and summer) if you have enough HP. they're a good all season tire. but I wouldn't push them to the limits. they are predictable also and I've pushed them in the corners with satisfactory handling.
Pros: satisfactory handling, predictable
Cons: squirrely until warmed up

I had them on my G. I liked them. They had great grip but were really comfortable. Only downside was a lack of steering feel, which I think was partly the car too. For a street car, soft sidewalls are good IMO.
Pros: great grip, comfortable
Cons: lack of steering feel
My wife has ExtremeContact DWS 06 in her car and the car feels floaty. I think it's these ExtremeContact just have softer sidewalls.
Cons: car feels floaty

I put these on my GTI before I sold it. Really liked the tire. It is more forgiving of cold morning temperatures than most other summers. I used it year-round in southern TN (never drove the car in the snow).
Pros: forgiving cold temperatures, liked tire

Decided to bump it up 5 to 245/40/20 and 275/35/20 and try some Continental ExtremeContact tires. Tested them out and noticed the faster I go the more floaty or the feeling that the car is 30 feet long (aka 1980's boat sized cars). Is this from what I've read that the sidewalls are softer on continental tires?
Cons: floaty feeling, softer sidewalls

185 wide Michelin Energy savers to 205 Continental premiumcontact 6.
Holy shit the grip is amazing. In all conditions. Rain, cold, whatever. 20mins of track time even goes well
Pros: amazing grip, all conditions
Cons: more sliding about
Terrible tires with tons of road noise.
Cons: tons of road noise
Continental Extreme Contact DWS06’s are excellent. Same size as the summer tires on the Golf R. Excellent winter traction, I’ve had these on all my GTI’s, and I just put them on my new R.
Pros: Excellent winter traction

Michelin MXV4 to Continental DWS
DWS superior in everyway except getting bubbles. It would bubble at every pothole. Went to Michelin Premier A/S it was a downgrade in everything except bubbling still better than MXV4
Pros: DWS superior in everyway
Cons: bubbles at every pothole
