I've been running 225/45-17 Blizzak WS90 since 2020. I'll be putting that same set on again this winter. They have been amazing and I'll probably buy another set when these age out. Edit: this period included a 2300 mile roadtrip across the northern US in early 2021 when we were having a crazy blizzard across the northern plains.
Continental Extremecontacts DWS06+, outstanding set of tires.
Especially in the rain, the amount of grip you'll still have is amazing
I've had an '18 GT for a few years now, and I am just now on my second set of Conti ExtremeContact DWS06. They've served me well driving up to Big Bear for snowboarding, and ripping on Angeles Crest in the summer. I have also NOT been kind to them (left turns from a stop I just can't help myself). 10/10 would recommend them for an all around grippy and safety tire.
I run continental Extreme Contacts DWS on mine. They’re amazing and handle snow well too
Conti Viking 7 have been best of the three in my opinion. Excllent in winter and I am even running 19 inch. I took my car out for a Sept warm wknd (was forced to) and even in those conditions I had no idea I was rolling on winters. If I had done that in my Blizzaks, you would have felt the softness. Based on their feel and winter performance, I won’t be looking at other winter tires again.
I switched from the OEM Michelin to Bridgestone Quiettrack on my '18 Accord Hybrid and they are much quieter and it handles very well. I'm very happy with them, even if I have always been a Michelin man. I don't think you can go wrong with either.
Have been running 215/45r20 Potenza S001's on my i3s for a year or so and no wobble at all. If anything, feels more planted, and power transfer feels more immediate, though that may be my imagination.
All conditions were great EXCEPT wet root. So I'm also in the 'waiting for enduro super soft' camp.
Compared to Maxxis Assegai(grip) + DHR(terra) both exo+:
\* Conti feel more stable than exo+ but not worlds apart
\* Conti roll significantly faster (prob mainly due to Assegai being very slow)
\* Assegai maxxgrip has WAY more 'chemical' grip vs KR-F enduro soft. (Super soft is roughly the same)
\* Conti have more stability in side knobs and more 'physical' grip in loam
\* KR-R as better breaking traction IMO but is also heavier.
Ride Tours apparently run narrow on most rims, I’ve got a pair of them in 32c that measure in at about 29mm even on 19mm rims
I have a ‘99 Fireblade with a 16” front wheel rather than the 17” which is normal now. It is more likely to shake its head when going over a bump, banked over at high speed. It is also difficult or impossible to recover from a front wheel slide which would be recoverable on other bikes.
