People said these tires handle like garbage. I was skeptical—and yeah, they’re a bit squishy at first—but honestly, unless you’re trying to turn your grocery run into a Formula 1 race, they’re actually decent. The family has stopped complaining, which is a miracle; these tires actually soften the blow of our awful roads. Range is about the same, but the noise? Night and day. Old Contis were basically a marching band on wheels; now it’s quiet enough to enjoy the ride without wanting earplugs.
They have been fantastic, drove through huge rain storms and never felt unsafe once
Just got these to replace my OEM contis that lasted 40k miles. So far I’m loving the SRS+.
I’ve used Continental (very good), Hankook (good), Goodyear (good - worse handling in summer than Conti but excellent in winter, higher wear).
The Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady2 won Tire Rack's first place overall rating last year. The weaknesses of this tire are noise and fuel economy, and even in those areas, their performance is above average. Excellent heat/cold, wet/dry/snow performances on track and on skid pad testing.
I ran the Continental Extreme Contact Force on my VA and it's a great endurance 200 tire.
The Rav4 with these tires did a fantastic job on snowy interstate, and through snow-covered Berkshire mountain uppy/downy roads with multiple inches of snow on them. My biggest complaint is the sensor warnings stopping me from being able to monitor AWD activity on the dash. Otherwise no complaints and significantly increased confidence in inclement winter weather.
I haven’t driven on the Rivian Goodyears, but my experience has been that all terrain style tires like that struggle on hard packed snow and ice (they just aren’t soft enough in the cold).
Goodyear tires are notorious for doing this. Several factors play a role on why this happens. Overweight from running low air pressure, vehicle sitting for a period of time in the sun.
Gonna get new continentals tomorrow. There is cracking in the middle as well in between the groves that's just as bad so just gonna get it replaced before snow and cold temps come.
