I use Continental Top Contact Winter Premium II (what a name...) and have been very pleased with them.
I bought a set of the Viking 8s this season, I've had them on for about a month now. Over the years I've had Yokohama IceGuards, Blizzak WS90s, Uniroyal Tiger Paw Ice and Snow, Firestone WinterForce and the X Ice Snow. The Conti's have been the best of all. Very very quiet, comparable to an all season, sure footed in a blizzard, did well in heavy ice fog and very good in the wet.
Snow tires have been one of the best decisions I made with my '25 WRX. I decided to go with the Continental Viking Contact 8, and my goodness, are they fantastic. In the Western New York area (Buffalo) we get dumped on regularly, and sometimes it doesn't let up. For years, I used all-seasons, but switching to proper tires for winter has made a difference like no other.
I\u2019ve never had a problem with my Continental DWS06 plus\u2019s. 2 winters coming up on third and haven\u2019t slipped or slid ONCE in western pa winters. Highly recommend.
Continental All Season Contact aici. Fabricate in Romania la Timisoara, trei ani vechime timp in care am parcurs 98.000km cu ele. Da. 98 de mii. Mers 98% in regim de autostrada pe autostrazi europene. Adancimea profilului este de 3.9-4mm acum - asa ca urmeaza schimbul.\u00a0
most WRX folks I know (including me) have had really good results with the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ since they’re way smoother, handle NJ winters decently, and take the edge off rough roads without killing the sporty feel
Conti GP5000ASTR 35mm setup tubeless, currently using them over winter (@ 50psi) and they have a lot of grip, good comfort, seem durable so far (only have about 750 miles on them, wearing well and no punctures yet) and they seem fast to me
Conti TerraSpeed 35s may be your best bet. Great grip and pretty damn fast as per BRR and my own usage.
I had a set of Continentals do the same thing on my wife’s gently driven Escape. I am religious about tire pressure, and they otherwise wore evenly.
Just put on a fresh pair of Kryptotals on Bontrager tubeless ready rims. Took 4 hours and 7 plastic tire wrench’s to get both tires on. Getting them to seat wasn’t too bad.
