I am about a week in on these new tires and they feel much smoother than the Michelins did. Not as rough over bumps and potholes, and less road noise.
Pros: much smoother, less noise
Cons: monitoring rainy days

Eventually I got a set of Continental Kryptotal Fr/Re in 2.4" trail casing and endurance compound, and I haven't looked back since. The knobs are massive, and yet they roll super fast and grip super well. They perform so well in every metric that it just doesn't make sense, but I'll take it!
Pros: rolls super fast, grips well
So far I love these new Continentals.
Pros: love these Continentals
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I always get Continental's "control contact sport SRS+" for my 1st gen. Not the most expensive, but I wouldn't describe it as shoestring either.
Pros: not the most expensive
I’d go with the Blizzaks. I’ve also driven them on a CX-5 but went with Continental VikingContact 7 on my CX-5 and they’re incredible in every aspect.
Pros: incredible in every aspect
Vehicle:
Mazda
Personally I went with the Continental Pure Contact LS tires. You do take a hit on efficiency, but it's much better in the rain and snow and wears much better as well. I have 25k miles on mine now and they look like they will last at least another 75k miles.
Pros: better in rain and snow, wears better
Cons: hit on efficiency
Mileage: 40233 km
That is exactly what I did. I am running 18x8.5 +45 with 235/45/18 Conti DWS06. Very happy with my decision.
Pros: happy with decision
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I love my Contact Spike 240's in 38mm. On smooth tarmac you can hear a small ticking noise but nothing obnoxious. Rolling resistance is fine. Grip is fantastic as long as the spikes can find something hard to bite into.
Pros: fantastic grip, fine rolling
Cons: small ticking noise
A couple weeks ago I attended the endurance race and Continental was giving out used tires, so maybe.
Haven't used them in the snow yet but Discount Tire will match Walmart's $146.00 price on the 235/50/17 Continental Pure Contacts. I've had really good luck with Continentals on my Edge, Taurus and Fusions. They've been OK in Michigan winters but nothing spectacular.
Pros: good luck with Continentals
Cons: nothing spectacular
