Tires Continental or Goodyear
I run 225/40 R18 Continental ContiWinterContact TS 830 P
We got conti vikingcontact 7. They've been fantastic. They were much cheaper than the Michelin's which I hear mixed reviews of.
No change in noise vs stock tires, feel like more lateral grip. We average only 1kwh/100km more on the winters vs all seasons (but it was also much colder when they were on for so I don't think they lost much efficiency).
1600 miles later after a TN road trip and I love these Contis. Quiet, excellent rain performance and good in the curves. We had two emergency stops and these things stuck like glue.
I would look into Goodyear WeatherReady. Goodyear still makes awesome tires and WeatherReady is one of them. I’ve got them on all my vehicles and have zero complaints.
Just came to this thread after ordering Goodyear Maxlife. I happened to look at Goodyear Assurance Maxlife on a whim and saw that they were priced lower than the Pirellis by about $7 per tire and was able to price match to Discount tire who had these in stock at one of the stores.
I replaced the run flats with Continental Sure Grip right of the rip. World of difference in ride.
Run Wrangler SR-A on my JK in the summer. Takeoffs from Ram 1500s. Awesome highway tire. Not an offroad tire at all but they survive forest service roads.
Continental extreme contact I think is what my bf has on his little Audi sedan, and we got thru last winters blizzard with ease. All I know is they are hard to squeal cause they won’t slide!
It's an ok tire... Better than Chinesium brands but barely keeps up with other bargain brands like Cooper, Nexen, Kuhmo, Falken, etc... "Good for a year" is an old joke about these tires and unfortunately, although not really accurate, their longevity seems a lot lower than older Goodyear tires.
Those look like the same tread as Goodyear run-flats I have on a vehicle and they are looking similar. The tires were installed in 2020 and have less than 30k miles on them. Worst tire I’ve ever bought.
