Tires Continental or OEM Honda

The DWS 06 Contis are very good. I run them on my daily year-round and have had zero complaints with them. They are very good for the money and a good chunk cheaper than the Michelins, though they have been creeping up a bit in price over the last few years

I liked Continental DWS06s on my G37 for the street.... they were quiet and had squishy sidewalls for comfort but were grippy AF.

My regular DWS06’s were amazing in the snow last winter.

I normally use Nokian Hakkapeliittas on my Golf and while they still have more than enough legal tread, I don't believe they're optimum for hardpacked snow. Unfortunately, there's a waitlist for new Nokians, so I'm going with Continental Wintercontacts, which have a sterling rating.

I have the Conti, corners well, good traction, pretty loud.

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.

Agree on running them at higher pressure to help with squishy feeling. All around performance in inclement weather was pretty good. Mine got noisy earlier than I would have hoped for primarily long distance highway use even with proper alignment, balance and rotation.

After a week with the DWS, I've decided to replace them with the OEM version of Pirelli all seasons. The DWS on my car aren't "loud", but the noise they do give off (high pitched whine) drives me nuts at highway speed.
