The other snow tire I used in my 14 years of driving is a Continental Winter Contact SI which was excellent on highway winter driving but not as good for snowy road driving.
I also really like Winterforce tires. again far less expensive but great tread and can be studded if you want.
I got a set of Continental Viking Contact 7 tires for my Impreza last winter when the shop didn't have Blizzaks in my size and I couldn't be happier with them.
I’m running continental extreme contact DWS06 ran me about $150 per tire.
Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's seem to be the best budget performance tires.
What a difference with the Contes….sooo much quieter. Could be the excitement, but I feel like it’s a bit flatter in the turns.
2013 limited eco AWD on Conti DWS06. I came from an Audi A4 Quattro on Blizzaks in the winter. The Flex ain’t the Audi but it’s pretty good.
Continental dws06 is the way to go. I put them on my
3 and love them.
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.
The tires are in fact complete garbage, and I hope after completely destroying them by beating the absolute piss out of them I can get a better performance tire, because let’s be honest it’s SD, not Michigan.
