You could definitely push the Michelin‘s harder and dry weather. They are also great in rain. But I live in Pennsylvania, so the DWS 06 are the ones for me. I don’t need to constantly be pushing my tires to the edge and with these, they definitely do have a little more give and a little more slip than the Michelin, but the amount of snow traction I get is light years ahead of the Michelin by far even though the Michelin are listed as an all season they are more of a three season tire.
I've had these for the past 3 winters. They're great.
I changed my model 3 highland to alll season tires, specifically Continental AllSeasonContact 2, they are designed for northern Europe climate so more for wet and cold and extra durability.
I driven over 5000km with them and the consumption is slightly higher, nothing worth telling about, same with noise levels
Have 15k on our DWS06 plus tires, about one third worn, should get 40k without much trouble, and I'm running the factory staggered size, rotate with every 6k mile oil change. Tires have been pretty good, they run quiet, grip decent for an All Season, not bad in the rain (in real heavy rain they can hydroplane a bit). Have ran them in light snow (3" or less) and are fine, as well as good performance when cold.
Continental Tire for the win!
Continental ice contact XTRM is absolutely fantastic if you have a Tirecraft near you I believe it is sold there. I have the studded versions and they are amazing.
All four are solid choices. I’d go with the Contis over the other 3 though. Outstanding tire.
The vikingcontact are a top tier tire, but the falken are not far behind. If your budget is limited the falken is a solid option
Fuck the Maxxis Taxxes. I'm still waiting on a pair of Continental Kryptotal F's for $42 each from Jenson.
I had continental on mine from the factory. They were also grossly over inflated. Despite adjusting the pressure they wore out in 13k
