I can add that I have Continental (Dealer supplied) 195 -65 - 15 on steelies on my 16 GSW. Using the electronic systems in the car, with 4 tall and narrow, winter tires, gives confident snow traction. Fuel mileage is not adversely affected and the noise level has not increased.
For all seasons, get Michelin pilot a/s 3+. Way better than the Conti extremecontacts I had before. Probably not quite as good in the snow but who cares. So smooth, relatively quiet, and great grip for an all season.
Yokohama S drives are pretty cheap now since they are an "older" tire design. I really like them on my fiesta, plenty of grip, and I'm getting decent mileage out of them.
Just put a set of these on my Jetta GLI, ride quality is excellent, turn in is superb, they are communicative, work great I’m dry rain AND snow.
I had Sumitomo HTR ZIII tires on my Mk5 Rabbit. They were $82 each for 225/45/17. They grip incredibly well, quiet and comfortable and were good in the wet. Couldn't recommend them enough.
I have it on pretty solid authority that Sumitomo htr z3's are essentially Michelin pilot sports as far as grip goes with 75% of the tread life magic, for roughly half the price.
I just got some Continental ExtremeContact Sports and they're not too expensive but really nice.
Agree on this but don't forget that General is owned by Continental so a lot of the same technology goes into their tires
They are fine tires. Not the best, not the worst. They are priced fair and I would have no problem riding on them if I was being cheap, especially in warm and dry conditions.
I have Michelin ltx tires now, can't say I'm not a bit disappointed, in snow they SUCK brand new they are worse then my worn BFG 's ..other then that pretty major problem they ride nice and are quiet.
