Dramatically better traction, specifically when driving through parking lots that were plowed, but now there's 2-4 inches of loose snow you have to go through. Just driving out of the parking lot after installation I had way way better grip.
It's like going from 30% grip to 80% grip.
The improved snow traction is amazing. Living in Minnesota I will never put a tire without the 3Peak Mountain Snowflake Symbol on a car I own again
Bridgestone Driveguards if you want RFTs. driveguards are near silent unless you're in dire need of suspension work
Bridgestone Blizzaks or Michelin Crossclimate 2’s.
I’m running Cooper ST/Maxx and they’re fucking incredible and look aggressive as fuck. Vancouver got shit on with a ton of snow and ice and I felt like the most stable vehicle on the road during the initial snowmageddon. I haven’t lost traction once all week. Strongly recommend.
Love my Blizzaks. I live where we get 450” of snow.
Just got Blizzaks from Costco and they literally changed my life.
I have run blizzak ws90s. Honestly out of the 3 I feel like blizzak are the best compromise. Snow performance is good. Ice performance is not quite as good as studded obviously but still good.
I have Blizzaks they're amazing. They are also studdless. So they are quiet. I am a serious skier. I have never not made it to the mountain with my Blizzaks.
Just bought COOPER ENDEAVOR PLUS for $128.99 per tire from Tirerack. Have not really got a good test for them but going on a road trip this weekend with them. I got them to cut down road noise more than anything.
With 4000 miles on the car, I thought I would 'Upgrade' with a decent reviewed set to replace the stock continentals... After a 3-hour install I became somewhat horrified as to what I had done...even with the proper size, the car visually and actually sits lower, the fluid steering has stiffened exponentially (even normal mode), and the car feels so much heavier. The Tiguan now struggles (and burns gas /loses economy) to accelerate in regular conditions and the braking feels laggard. It is a night and day difference that makes the OEM Continental ProContacts actually seem like a good tire. Do not purchase these tires unless you want to turn your Tiguan into a constipated low-slung Jeep.
