Tires Continental or Cooper
Coopers, they performed better year round mud-ice/snow over the BFG. I’ve been hearing a lot about balancing issues with BFG from the tire shop we use too.
Actual performance? Cooper AT3s (no joke, those tires are freaking amazing)
I replaced the junk ProContact TX tires on my 21 SEL-P with ExtremeContact DWS 06+ a few weeks ago. Went to Mammoth this weekend, where it has been setting records for snowfall. The 4motion, along with these tires, performed fantastically well. Very pleased with them.
I daily drive my GTI in the city. Someone on here recommended Continental DWS06 tires as an economical but still good option and let me tell you, they are awesome. I’m loving every second I drive with them in.
My choice is Continental DWS 06 Plus. It truly is an ultra high performance All season tire, it does great in the snow, it's quiet and sticky, I used the non plus version before this and it was fantastic.
I left run flats and slapped on Continental ExtremeContact. They look great and ride amazing. Also I went wider and kept the thickness so it feels a lot more comfortable
Continental ExtremeContacts. Made a huge difference in traction, noise, and comfort. Even more of a point and shoot go kart now.
I live in the PNW, we don't get enough snow to warrant a whole set of tires (for me, anyways). I've been running the Continental dws06 Plus (and the prior non plus version) for years, they do exceptionally well in a couple inches of snow, even ice. I have cable chains for when it gets really bad.
Michelin MXV4 to Continental DWS
DWS superior in everyway except getting bubbles. It would bubble at every pothole. Went to Michelin Premier A/S it was a downgrade in everything except bubbling still better than MXV4
This weekend I had to pay tire discounters to remove the foam from all 4 of my tires because it was coming off and causing unbalanced tires. These tires aren’t good.
