Tires Continental or Firestone
I just got my M3 and bought a set of previous gen 18 inch rims, put continental viking contact 8's on them, so far good here in buffalo.
Honda accord does fine with some all weather tires. I use continental contipro contact. Never had an issue
Mechanic recommended Continental ProContacts as all-weathers for a small FWD VW sedan, and I've been happy with them for a couple winters.
I used to commute from Ithaca to Syracuse daily in a mk5 GLI. I had studded Firestone Winterforces on steel wheels. That car was an absolute beast in the snow and regularly outperformed 4x4’s.
I'm running the stock 19"s on my Mk8 with Continental Vikings. So far I'm content.
Continental Vikingcontact 7 is by far my favorite for snow and ice mix (we get a lot of slush with ice under it here). also pretty quiet for a winter tire on dry roads.
I run Nokian Hakka RS5 on my GTI. Continental Viking contact 7 on our Golf wagon. Both are excellent.
Currently on Continental winter contact TS860 235 35 19, cannot say a word against them in light and heavy snow conditions.
I had a set of Continentals do the same thing on my wife’s gently driven Escape. I am religious about tire pressure, and they otherwise wore evenly.
I would almost never recommend firehawks. They wear like shit
