Tires Continental or GENERAL TIRE

On my past cars I put about 50k miles on the old DWS and also about 30k on the DW and have always been happy with them. Saying that I ordered the DWS06 in size 255/35/19 the first couple weeks they were out and there no reviews yet. I knew that it would more than likely be a better tire than the old DWS which I was a happy with. I have already put about 20k miles on the tires and they have been great in the rainy Florida weather and so far have really shown no wear at all.

I had the previous generation Extreme Contact DWS tires on my previous car and liked them very much. I thought they were pretty good in the snow, especially for a high performance tire. The OEM Conti's on my Passat (it turns out) were good too...handled ok, wore well, but were getting a little noisy.

35 front and rear has always felt good. MPSS and Conti DW and DWS both love 35 PSI as to not roll the sidewall.

the grip is unreal compared to my old tires. Tires - $611 shipped (Continental Extremecontact DW 235-40-18, TireBuyer.com)

I personally love it and it works very well. Tires are Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 225/40ZR18

I've been running continental contiprocontact, decently priced and great grip. They do me wonders in the rain.

I'm running Continental PureContacts which are an all season touring tire on the mk4. In rain they grip like a bitch. In icy conditions they grip like a bitch. In loose dirt, decomposed granite etc etc they grip like a bitch. They are phenomenal

I just installed the P7 Cinturato on mine a few days ago (235 45 18). They ride nice and handled the rain well. I had Continental PureContact w/Eco Plus for the last 40k. Those were excellent and still had 4/32 - 5/32.

I have General Grabber AT2 on my XC70 ...I also recommend going with 16s, more sidewall means less likely to bend a wheel.

For a budget snow tire I have been using these now for 2 years and love them:
