Continental 195 65 15 on all four corners -- fantastic snow traction in a front drive with traction control. It would beat SUV's with all seasons in a stoplight snow drag race.
I have Continentals on two of my cars. Wouldn’t settle for anything less. And we get a lot of snow and ice.
Continental touring+ is legit too. Havent had 1 flat since I switched several years ago.
Dude the stock dunlop's can't even handle muddy roads. I live down a really long one and turning out of my driveway onto the road always made the front tires spin and the diff lock up weird.
Changed over to as3+'s and it's never been better.
Stock dunlops...terrible in snow.
Winter tires...beast mode!
It's a night and day difference.
Highly recommend Conti Dws 06. While not as sticky on dry compared to the Dunlop’s I had zero issues last winter.
The Continental ECS (Extreme Contact Sport) are worlds ahead of them and do amazing in the rain.
I use the DWS06 currently, used on 17 CWP as well. I only notice the sidewall negatively when trying to take highway on-ramp curve at high speeds. But even then it’s not dramatically different than stock Dunlop’s. I actually enjoy them more during the rest of driving because of smoothness.
I run DWS06s on the 19 cadiz... have been for ~48k now. The rears are still almost to the wear bars, and the fronts were replaced just over ~3k ago. I live in Lorton/DC area... commute into the city. Yes, they're squishy for the first 2k... then they square up.
I have never been a fan of Conti tires, especially anything with "ContiSport" in its name. They come OE on many German marques, and I can't for the life of me figure out WHY other than some smoking back room deal hammered out over loads of pharmaceuticals in the wee hours of the morning. My MK6 felt like a cement truck with its OE Contis. They would flat spot in what seemed like 120 seconds, noisy as all get out and lasted 1/3 of the claimed milage. Ive permanently deformed Contis on my old 05 E55 by just hitting a small chuck hole or bump. This is anecdotal evidence at best, but my money is on the tires being deformed, belt shift or what ever the excuse of the day is.
