Tires OEM Mazda or Continental

I have an emonda and I’m running the contis, really really like them, it may be my imagination, but the tubeless makes a nice difference to road vibration.

I’ve got a 2021 Edmonda sl5 with the Aeolus pro 51 and upgraded to the gp5000 28mm and they were a great upgrade compared to the r1 it came with…

another one for DWS06+. I put them on my Passat this past spring. They are absolutely comfortable. I don't believe there is much noise from them; maybe I'm unaware or maybe i dont look for it? But I can certainly attest for the comfort and grip. They are still on my car, and we've had some 1*C weather these past few mornings. Still very grippy when quickly merging out of side streets, and grippy when taking onramps. Had previous experience with DWS06 on my old 3G TL. Really liked them then also. That was the only car i've owned and didnt have dedicated winter tires for. The DWS were great in the winter time, and gave me no trouble in souther ontario winters.

I replaced the garbage Michelin Primacy A/S stock tires with the Continental DWS06+ in the stock size. My reasoning for not putting dedicated winter tires on this time around is: 1) We don’t get a ton of snow here in Chicago area, and even less than normal the last few years. When we do get snow, the roads by me are generally cleared pretty quickly. 2) I work from home now, so rarely would I need to go anywhere if there was a freak blizzard. 3) Got tired of doing the twice yearly wheel/tire swap, having to store them in my already small one car garage, the expense of purchasing a second set of tires and wheels, etc.. The + version supposedly addressed some of the previous shortcomings such as soft sidewalls, noise, etc..

The summer tires are Continental ContiSportContact Contiseal. That last part -- the Contiseal -- makes it a runflat. Apparently the tire is filled with some kind of goop that seals punctures.

Hey, no these Continental DWS 06's are quite good in snow, not sure why any of the car nerds on here would even doubt their ability. I've driven them in 6/8/10" of snow before and have never had any issue--though I'm driving a 4Motion Golf.

Just put a set of DWS06's on my Golf R. They are good and comfy and have "enough" grip but definitely not as grippy as the summer tires they replaced.

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 have had the DWS 06 on my R for almost a year. Drove through Reno’s ridiculous amount of snow last year. They’re a good tire in fluffy snow and got me around no problem. When it gets more hard packed they struggle, but they’re an all season tire and I didn’t expect much there.

Had the DWS and MXM4s on a 07 Passat 4Mo wagon. Destroyed the Conti's in 27K, the Michelins looked new at 25K. I won't buy the DWS again for my current 13 CC 4Mo.
