Tires Continental or BRIDGESTONE
2016 EX-L V-6 MT coupe. I seem to swap later every year. Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 dropping width to 225.
With the amount of snow decreasing these tires will wear faster on dry pavement. But they are good in snow and 40° and below weather.
I had ExtremeContacts on my golf and loved them except they didn’t last as long as I expected. Then I got Pilot Sport 4s since they were on sale at the same price as the contis. they’re a bit louder but a bit grippier.
I had a friend with Blizzacks on his WRX, and I put the equivalent Continental WinterContacts on my WRX. Mine wore less over time and I commuted more, were slightly cheaper at the time, and felt like they performed a little better.
Went to 17s and put on Bridgestone Blizzaks. Amazing the difference snow tires will make.
Big fan of the Continent Winter Contacts for my Passat in 215 width. They were quite a bit less than Michelin's at the time. I'll buy them again.
I recommend Continentals. High quality tires, in general high lifespans and good grip. Good ride quality and low noise.
I have a Superduty Tremor with Duratrac Wranglers and a Focus ST that I have a second set of wheels and Blizzaks on it. As long as the snow isn’t too deep that it packs my bumper full I prefer to drive the ST with snow tires on it in winter weather because dedicated snow tires are almost always better in colder climates period.
Ive used trail kings on my old 26 hardtail for many years. I think theyre actually pretty great. The black chili rubber coumpound is good, theyre such a nice blend of grip and rolling speed. They have held up and been pretty durable as well.
I was a loyal GP4000/5000 rider but had to switch a few years back. I think they changed something and it not only became harder to mount them, but it was impossible to break the bead and remove them. I switched to Vittorias but really miss the feel of the GPs. I feel much more confident descending on them.
Those win-turi's are a joke. Also your studs seem to have lost most of the wear tip and look mostly dull.
