After an absolute ton of research and talking to a lot of people, I decided on the Continental TerrainContact A/Ts. Compared to the stock destinations these tires have at least double the performance and grip in both snow and wet. They're a tiny bit louder on grooved surfaces, but it almost isn't noticeable. They feel a like the side walls are a little bit stiffer, which isn't a bad thing, but don't ride any harsher. Honestly, I'm very surprised at how much I like these tires.
My 2008 is350 on continental Dw06 extreme sport runs like a dream
I live in Chicago, so we get some good cold and winter conditions. I recently put Continental DWS06+ on my Giulia, they were great in the late summer, and have been great in the snow as well. I highly recommend them after a few months of use.
For a longer lasting summer tire you can check out the kumho ecsta sport S, Michelin pilot 4s, or Continental extremecontact sport 02.
I put continental cross contact tours on my cheap hyundai accent and it made it so much quieter.
I have them on my Alfa Giulia and I live in LA so for me they do wonders. I can speed down the freeway in the little rain we get with absolutely no issues. And off road/ cold weather grip is still really really good.
If you wanna stay with Cooper's, get the Discoverer AT3S. They are a decent Road Focused All Terrain with good snow and ice ratings. I have them on my truck, and I don't slide around much unless I want it too, yanno what I mean lol.
I have dedicated snow tires that go on November 1st and come off April 1st. I don't get stuck. Cooper Evolution Winter are my favorite tread style, but several tire makers have the same tread design. The ones made in Japan are 13/32 deep and ride well.
We have American made Cooper on our four vehicles, as decent tires.
I'm a mechanic, but still personally only stick to Michelin/Continental/Nokian religiously on my cars. Our parts dept fleet at my shop are all fitted with Coopers in the summer and Nexens in the winter. I hate them. Noisy, garbage in the weather, garbage in the dry.
