I have the stock Conti EcoContact6 and they’re pretty good even in the wet. It takes deliberately poor driving to even come close to breaking the back end loose.
Mines too has the stock contis, and you can go full send in the wet and between the tyre and traction control, no wheel spin (unless you chase after it by turning etc)
I have a seal premium, live in a very wet tropical climate, drive in only sport mode, and with the stock continental's I find the car to be very sticky even in the wet it takes a deliberate movement to get the back end loose.
Went with the Continental DW06 since I had them on the GTI. Night and Day from the Summer Tires, much better for driving around town.
Can't speak on Seattle, but I had a set of Discoverer AT3 XLTs on my Dakota and my Sierra and loved em. Never had an issue. Plus they were made in thevUSA which was a plus in my mind.
Fantastic tires in my opinion. I haven't ran them on my trail rigs but used them on my plow truck and would happily buy again if I need an all terrain.
I run these in the southeast. Lots of roots and mid, but not much snow. I've been very happy with them on wet roads, mud and on trails on my property. Great budget option in my opinion.
Happy so far with my Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail. Quiet, lighter than the Falkens. 60000 mile warranty is nice too.
I used to have Continental Audi OEM tire shit in the rain but quiet and energy efficient.
Do not purchase the Walmart coopers…. I have a set of 285 70 17 and one wheel took 16oz to balance on stock wheels. The other three required 5-7 oz each.
