Tires Continental or GISLAVED
Nekem a focus rs-en winter contact van es nagyon meg vagyok vele elegedve
Kupio continental all season contact. Zime su postale slabe kod, bar u BG.. Na planine ne idem, tako da od mene preporuka za all season.
Personally I prefer Continental a little more for the pricing to performance advantage they offer (admittedly subjective). You do still pay a little for the name but it's not as painful of an upcharge as Michelin and their comparable lines in my size are over $50/tire cheaper. Recently I even lucked out and they're preferable to my prior Defenders.
For a good balance of LONG wear and good grip I've been getting Gislaved NordFrosts. Those things seriously take four winters of high mileage, mostly bare pavement commuting to wear out.
The Continental Viking Contact 7 is the best winter tire I've ever driven on and the sneak peak I've had at the Viking Contact 8 looks like they've made it even better.
I like how little noise they make, their performance on both snow and ice, and how the treads don't fold over on one another.
For posterity, I've been running 235/45/18 Conti DWS06+ w/ no issues on the stock 18x7.5 ET45 Canyons lowered on Golf R front & Golf R Variant rear springs w/ Koni SA dampers for a little over a year: I think it's just about the perfect amount of sidewall myself, but would prefer another half inch of wheel width for flushness & sidewall contour.
I have the Continental VikingContact7 winter tires and I couldnt be happier. They have kept me out of some sticky situations.
I have non studded Conti Viking and it's perfect. It can also be a handful to drive, It moves under throttle, slides left and right. To me, this is not a drawback, it makes it fun. But, it's 5 in the morning, going to work half asleep, and you have a hard time accelerating at green lights getting passed by Yaris's, it can suck. I have a 15 min commute it's OK, wouldn't spend my day in it. On back roads it's a charm. I would not let my mother drive it in the snow, you have to be on your A game.
Continental was a hit and miss for me. One set was great, then four years later the next generation of the same line was rubbish.
My buddy only got 1300 out of the rear on his R1200rs with the Conti-motions.
