I love the continentals, no matter the weather these things stay planted. Great grip and durability. I have bought 3 sets over the years and for my GTI it’s all I’ll buy.
I’m running Continental WinterContact TS 860S SSR snow tires in Maine. Made it 50-something miles to work Christmas Eve in at least 6” of unplowed snow out to the highway (including at least a 12” deep and wide bank at the end of the driveway with no momentum). Packed snow on the highway, and a fluffy snowbank as tall as the hood at the end of an off-ramp. That was just one of many adventures these tires have gotten me through between this winter and last.
I put on Firestone destination at 2s in 235/65 r17. They are only 4lbs more than stock and perform great!
Got myself Continental Viking Contact and they are the best overall (dry, wet, snow, ice, sound level and rolling resistance) while not much more than the prices you listed. Iv had my Viking Contact for 2 winters now and I love them!
I run mine with 35mm Continental Cyclocross speed tires but I bet a 38 would fit.
I got the continental this year and I really like those tires. I had put 11k on them and maybe they don’t last all warranty. But they said if they don’t last all, they give me credit for the remaining mileage to replace them with new ones. Which is great as I will pay less for a new set
The DWS06+ are phenomenal i run them on my R and I love them the grip is insane
I've used the SRS+ tires for all season driving. They are fantastic. Rain or snow, they had a good grip. The ride is very smooth. I do not regret getting them.
Love the DWS
They wear down fast though
1990s Ford Explorer were pretty solid except for the pesky factory installed Firestone tires that would blow out at speed.
