Tires Pirelli or Continental

I can recommend continental, Pirelli or Dunlop. They all are pretty expensive but it's worth it, considering how much better they drive on e.g. a wet road or something. have a look at tests, continental is usually #1 or #2, that says pretty much about their quality. I personally only buy Conti and have never been disappointed, my dad has kumho on his car and they are so slippery it's scary.

Have you looked into the Continental ExtremeContact DWS? Discount Tire Direct's eBay account has a sale right now $100 off of $400 with free shipping.

I had my Conti DWS tires installed today. I’ve had them on two previous cars and they’re my pretty phenomenal across a broad range of conditions.

My clear favourite for our winter is the Pirelli Sottozero 3. It drives exactly like a real summer tire in the dry but is still excellent in the snow.

I ran the Continental Extreme DWS on my last M3 year round here in Colorado. They did really well in the summer mountain drives and served me just fine in the snow.

I have them on the MK5 GTI my son drives and will be swapping them onto my 2017 R. Love them for an all around tire.

The DWS' are awesome in the wet. But we had nearly no snow last winter so I can't tell you much about that, but I have high hopes.

Switched out my OEM Conti’s for the DWS 06’s last winter for ski season (So Cal). I have my OEM’s back on for now but once they are worn out I will put the DWS’s back on and never look back.

Thursday was not a good day for one of my Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 tires. On the way to work a pothole got my front right side tire...When I got home I notice a nick in the rim, but not the damage to the tire...Called Tirerack, since I have the road hazard coverage and filed a claim.

I run Conti DWSes on my A3 and I think they're abysmal with anything more than an inch of slush on the roads. More than that, once the temps get below 40 I can definitely sense them losing their grip. I haven't been overly thrilled with the Contis and don't think I'll buy them again.
