My go to budget tire are the General Altimax RT45s. I’ve had them and Michelin cross climate 2s and Nokian tires. The generals are a great value and wear nicely. They aren’t CC2s but do the job fine as an all around tire and the reviews and tests back that up and they handle snow pretty well.
My wife had continental extreme contacts on her civic, they were a little expensive but worth ever penny. I used to take that shit box skiing on powder days, they are good tires!
I also live in the PNW and have Continental DWS06+ and they are incredible in the rain and light snow.
Been using VikingContact 7s and 8s now for a bit and been very happy with them.
Been using continental viking contact 7, no issues. Obviously the new 8s would be even better.
I swear by Conti Viking Contact (7 or 8) and Bridgestone Blizzaks. I’m in Canada and trust me those rip through the snow
Continental VikingContact 7 (8 is probably even better) or Pirelli PZero Winter 2 are both good and quiet for everyday use. And I’ve run both in some deep snow with no issues.
I've had General GMAX AS 05's, Continental ECS AS and currently running Michelin PS4 AS. I live in NY, in a small apartment no garage, ND is my daily so I run one set of tires.
The General tires is a sub brand of Continental, they were cheaper than the ECS but honestly were great, I had these after the Continentals and I'd get the Generals over the ECS if on a budget.
I'm running on General Altimax R43 - Grand Touring All Season. Very good tire overall, but when I step hard on the gas pedal, I can't keep the tires from squealing in first gear, even from a roll. It seems the GLI can benefit from a tire with better dry traction.
I had the Continental CrossContact LX on my Hybrid Ltd. My service center told me at my last service visit that I need a tire change at 22k miles, and I should budget to buy new tires.. They said Front thread is at 2/10, Back tires 5/10.. I rotated them and switch it the back tires to the front for now. These tires came with the car 3/4yrs ago.
