Tires Continental or GENERAL TIRE
I am now on a set of continental for the winter. (And they run better than the all season khumo, go figure), but I'll look for those hankook next spring!
And they fit great, just like hawkbyte and Firebyte said they would
Have them on my Tucson AWD for a couple years in ND... Love them! Haven't any issues and have about 20k miles on them now and when I rotated them a few weeks ago they were still 8.5-9/32 tread.
I have general altimax 365 AWs and Michelin ice x snows for winter.
Last year I only had the Michelin tires on for 4 weeks and the rest of the winter I ran the generals.
They performed 95% of the dedicated snow tires.
I live in the northeast and have used the dws and the pilot sports over the years. It’s been rather mild here lately the last few years but I never had a problem with getting around in either of those tires.
I just got the Continental DWS06 plus on my M3P and I am surprised how good they are compared to the summer Pirellis that came on it. Very reasonably priced too.
I think Continental VikingContact 8 would be on par with R5s when it comes to function.
I was deciding between these same tires and I went with the dws06+ due to the fact I drive up to the mountains quite often. Have been more than impressed with their ability in every weather condition and will be getting a new set in the next couple of months.
My thoughts are the tires work fine. I do get a little rubbing at extremes, but no significant loss of traction on icy, snowy stuff.
I am still not impressed with these tires. I'm just about to hit 14k miles on these tires and they are some of the worst tires I've had. Definitely going to replace them before winter. We average 6-8 inches of snow every winter and these tires are like race slicks in the snow.
