Tires Continental or DEXTER
I've had good luck with Conti Pro Contacts in the past and am currently running the Conti Pure Contact. Also had a good experience with Pirelli P7 on a past vehicle.
The OEM Conti's get dogged pretty good on here, and they are not good if you want to tear around. They do cruise really nicely though, and I find them excellent in inclement weather. I am clearly going to get at least 60k out of mine minimum, so I'm considering them as replacements as well.
I went back with Continentals as replacements because I got 80k miles out of them.
Continental 195 65 15 on all four corners -- fantastic snow traction in a front drive with traction control. It would beat SUV's with all seasons in a stoplight snow drag race.
I have Continentals on two of my cars. Wouldn’t settle for anything less. And we get a lot of snow and ice.
Continental touring+ is legit too. Havent had 1 flat since I switched several years ago.
Highly recommend Conti Dws 06. While not as sticky on dry compared to the Dunlop’s I had zero issues last winter.
The Continental ECS (Extreme Contact Sport) are worlds ahead of them and do amazing in the rain.
I have the EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 from Continental. Treadlife, despite being a 560 tire, seems poor. Traction and cornering have been unreal. But I am not driving fast through corners often, mostly highway miles.
I certainly hope they've improved them since '99, because mine were definitely Craptinentals. It was like driving on roller skates.
