The other snow tire I used in my 14 years of driving is a Continental Winter Contact SI which was excellent on highway winter driving but not as good for snowy road driving.
I got a set of Continental Viking Contact 7 tires for my Impreza last winter when the shop didn't have Blizzaks in my size and I couldn't be happier with them.
I’m running continental extreme contact DWS06 ran me about $150 per tire.
What a difference with the Contes….sooo much quieter. Could be the excitement, but I feel like it’s a bit flatter in the turns.
2013 limited eco AWD on Conti DWS06. I came from an Audi A4 Quattro on Blizzaks in the winter. The Flex ain’t the Audi but it’s pretty good.
Continental dws06 is the way to go. I put them on my
3 and love them.
I put on a set of the Conti's Extreme Contact DWS06 in 225/45-18, and they made a world of difference over the standard Turanzas (I have a base Turbo hatch). Better grip, better steering feel, quieter, and with the slight (I mean slight) increase in sidewall, better ride over bumps and stuff.
I have the continental ExtremeContact DWS! I had the same problem as you and after replacing them my hatch feels way more responsive and more sporty, i got them in the winter and they seemed to do really well with slush and ice
I did switch out the stock rubber to DWS06 @ the 12k mark and lost a little on the responsiveness on the onset. Now, as the tires have warn, it has gotten a little better, but still not as nice as the stock rubber. Hope this helps.
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.
