Tires Continental or Nokia

I'm running Continental DWSO6+'s and absolutely love them. I'm at stock size and got them for $640. I just drove during winter storm Izzy, and have zero complaints.

Personally, I went with the Continentals three weeks ago and love them.

We put the Viking 7’s on my wife’s FWD Tiguan and it’s been crushing these last two Wisconsin winters. Very pleased with them so far.

We put the Viking Contact 7's on our 2021 Golf. My 2019 Golf R has Nokian Haka R2's. Winter performance for the two tires is basically indistinquishable to me, which is very high praise as the Nokians have long been considered the best winter tire money can buy. The fact that the VC's are so much cheaper means that if I had to buy new winter tires right now for the R I would for sure get the VC's. Can't go wrong with them.

Had a DWS06, which I wore off.

Bought DWS06+, still riding those.

Excellent snow, ice and wet weather traction. Never had issues!

I'm very happy with mine too. Many years with Blizzaks and I think these are better for road nose, just as good in the snow.

I just got my 2022 Golf R and the dealership put those exact tires on for me and they are great!

I'm running VikingContact7 on the wife's Passat, and I have Hakkapeliitta R3 on my Alltrack. I figure when the R3 get replaced next fall VikingContact7 will replace them. They are excellent on snow and ice and very quiet. I've driven thru stuff on them that after I get thru I realize I probably should have been more careful, but didn't notice a thing a the time. I don't do that with the Hakkapeliittas.

The GTI would have performed much better on the summer tires, those all-seasons really are terrible.

Hakkapeliittas are super wobbly, I can't recommend those to people anyways.
