Tires YOKOHAMA or Continental

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.

I'm running the Conti VIkingContact7s. I had them on my 2019 and the dealership transferred them over to the new car for me since they're the same size. I've been very happy with them over the past two winters. They will definitely give up some dry weather handling to something like a PA4, but they're excellent on snow and ice. They're also reasonably quiet for a winter tire as well.

I have the extreme contacts dws 06 plus in a 225 45 17 and i love them, super grippy even in the rain and ive put almost 3000 miles on the set and they look like new still

I just put a set of Continental extremecontact dws06 plus on my car and they are an absolute dream in the ice and snow for an all season

Love mine, they’re great

Just moved from Nokian all weather, which are really good, to studded Contis on a small fwd vehicle. Pretty unreal difference. Have Bridgestone all weather on an awd vehicle, which are also good, but the studded Contis beat the crap out of them.

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.

I just replaced the OEM Conti TXs on my 15 Passat. Those tires were good only in dry weather-they lost traction from a start in wet weather and I actually got stuck in about 2\" of snow on a slight rise by my house.
