Continental VikingContact 7s are my recommendation. I get an average of 4m of snow, where I live, every winter, and these tires have never let me down. And they're incredibly refined at highway speeds.
Pros: never let me down

I run 18” on my ‘24. Pirelli Sottozero 3 on Pretoria wheels. We have Continental VikingContact on our ‘24 Alltrack. Both great set of winter wheels for Canadian winters.
Pros: great set of wheels

I had 225/40 R18 on mine last Winter and had no issues with it. Tires were Conti's WinterContact TS870. I was very happy with those tires. We got some pretty sewere snow last year and my R pushed through like nothing.
Pros: very happy with tires
Cons: none

We got conti vikingcontact 7. They've been fantastic. They were much cheaper than the Michelin's which I hear mixed reviews of.
No change in noise vs stock tires, feel like more lateral grip. We average only 1kwh/100km more on the winters vs all seasons (but it was also much colder when they were on for so I don't think they lost much efficiency).
Pros: more lateral grip, fantastic
Cons: mixed Michelin reviews
I have a continental timing belt with 180K km on it. Yes it’s time to change it, but it still looks good. They are good belts, my engines life depends on it.
Pros: good belts, looks good
Mileage: 180000 km
1600 miles later after a TN road trip and I love these Contis. Quiet, excellent rain performance and good in the curves. We had two emergency stops and these things stuck like glue.
Pros: quiet, excellent rain performance, good in curves, stuck like glue
Mileage: 1600 km
I replaced the run flats with Continental Sure Grip right of the rip. World of difference in ride.
Pros: world of difference in ride
Continental tires are popular because they're cheaper than Michelin and Pirelli tires. Contis also last longer.
Pros: cheaper, last longer
Everything negative said about the TX is true. They're shockingly bad and unworthy of the Continental brand. I upgraded to DWS06+; these are probably the best or second-best Conti-branded tire available in this market (USA+CDN).
Pros: upgraded to better tire
Cons: shockingly bad, unworthy
