Tires Continental or Barum

Continental DSW06, might be able to find older model (not the + I think) for cheaper.

We put Conti VikingContact 7 on the Passat last winter. They are fantastic. They've actually scared me more than once when I realized that I just drove thru stuff I should be careful on but never even noticed it.

I have the new VikingContacts on the AWD Alfa and they are even better. Both the Generals and Contis responded better at warmer temps, if that matters to you.

Continental. Had it for about a year now. Love them. Have had Pirelli and BFGs on previous cars but the Continental's are the best tire I've ever had.

I have Continental winter tires and am happy with them, but they are a bit expensive.

I have both currently and they’re both great tires

Continental DWS 06 or the new DWS 06 Plus that was released earlier this year is my go-to for all season.

Continental 4 Seasons are faster than Gatorskins while still having reasonable puncture protection.

I have the EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 from Continental. Treadlife, despite being a 560 tire, seems poor. Traction and cornering have been unreal. But I am not driving fast through corners often, mostly highway miles.

As for tires, I'd absolutely recommend against getting Conti DW's. I got them to replace Michelin PSS' mainly because they were cheaper and I thought the drop off in performance wouldn't be as significant as the price difference but it is...Very significant. For a chill family car, DW's are great..for any kind of performance driving, they just aren't good enough. Traction is ok but the sidewalls are very soft and I could feel them rolling and giving away at the track.
