If you only drive in snow 2 or 3 times a year, I’d go with the continental cross contact, it’s a quiet, comfortable ride and all around great all season tire, also comes standard of some of the premium Toyotas like the Venza.
They are correct, get the Generals! I have a 2002 Mercedes S500 and they are wonderful all season tires. Hold tight around corners at highway speeds and they do well for a rear wheel drive in the rain. I've had the Michelins and Goodyears and the General Altimax are amazing tires and they are a great value for what they are.
From experience with Gislaved on a WRX, Blizzak WS90 on another car, Blizzak DMV2 on a large diesel SUV, and Viking Contact 7s on a “regular SUV” and a parent’s older car, my personal favourite are the continental VC7s for all around winter.
I ride similar conditions. Went from a MaxGrip DHF to a Kryptotal. Really happy with the Conti’s
In my experience, which has been all heavier “horsepower” cars in the 3400-3800lb range, the best all seasons were Continental Extreme Contact DWS06. No chunking, but they do feather at the edges.
I've got Continental Viking Contact 7's on my AWD M3 and they're also fantastic.
But the GT ones are by far and away the very best I've had. They're very quiet, have a low rolling resistance, so great for EVs, and the handling in snow is incredible! It's almost like there is no snow even when riding on it.
I currently have Continental CrossContact XL 20 in. tires on my 2020 Buick Enclave. These are OEM tires that I was skeptical of since I usually prefer Michelin tires. These Continental tires are rated at 60K miles but currently have 63,000 miles on them and don't need to be replaced yet. They are quiet and grip well.
Continental extreme contactforce (275F/325R) probably slots somewhere slightly above the goodyears in pace with probably less longevity.
I was desperate to find something to replace my GP5000's after they got their 6th puncture in the space of 4 months of riding. Threw them in the trash.
