Tires Tires Tires
Hello all
I need rear tires bad, AWD isnt very good without good tires lookin for an all season
Ive had Nexens on my car for over 4 years, went through many pairs but ready to change to something new
Local tires shop recommends Toyo Proxy 4's
I was considering continental proconti's
ANY recommendations?

I don't know much about all season tires since I think season dedicated tires are better. Take a look at the survey results at Tire Racks website to see what tires people like.

I've run Conti DWS on my S6 and then switched to the new Proxes 4Plus. Both great tires.. This is my first winter with the Toyos and it's hard to tell but the Conti's may have had slightly more snow traction.
However, the Conti's also felt too soft (soft sidewalls) so the Toyo's may be better for overall handling.
You can't go wrong with either one...just make sure the Conti's are always inflated well if you go with them.

Respectfully, for those of you who are driving the DWS in the snow and think they are great...
Go find a similar model quattro with properly sized real winter tires, and try it in the snow. You will change your opinion of the DWS immediately.
I run the DWS on two quattros, a C5 and aC6, as three season tires. Frankly, they suck in the snow compared to the Nokians I run in the winter. Great three season, okay for a couple of flakes in an emergency, but lousy as a winter tire.
