Tires Continental or Goodyear
I swapped my bridge stones with Continental DWS06+ and it transformed the car. Ultimately I wanted to just get Summers since it never snows here and I never drive in snow,, but I am on a square set up (non m sport) and the continental were still better than the summer options that I had.
My M40i has the dedicated winters, Conti VikingContact 8 snow & ice tires. Went smaller width than stock, tire diameter is within 2% 235/55-R19. Non RF of course. About $1100 mounted, balanced, and storage of my all-season tires.
I’ve had both Blizzaks and Continental Vikingcontact on our vans. Both have been great. The Continentals are a little quieter on bare pavement, which is why I got them.
i just got a set for a hundred bucks off marketplace. Continental brand 225/60/R17 and theyre pretty damn good.
Our other car is a 2015 mazda 3 with continental vikings. No complaints there as well.
my LC has the wrangler duratracs. Great performance in winter here in Mn including true ice storms and black ice when it\u2019s -42 like this weekend. You have to drive differently but they perform well and don\u2019t require a full switch like a true winter tire.
First driving impressions reveal that the ride is indeed much improved, speed humps are no longer intimidating and it rides much smoother and quieter on your typical city street.
The Goodyears don't last long at UTQG of 580. But at least they are cheap at under $300 each.
Oh, and the Continentals you drive off the lot are dogshit, the tread pattern is just not great. Absolutely *not* an all-season tire.
I got Goodyear Reliants and absolutely regretted. By far the loudest tires I've ever had.
