I've been very impressed with the EV's performance in the snow. I'm running 15" Continental ContiWinter Contact snow tires, and use them year-round since I don't put many miles on during the summer months.
Knowing this, and having been uninspired by Michilen X-Ices I tried out Continentals Extreme Winter contacts last year. They have about 80-90% of the traction of the Bridgestones, but their compond wears longer, doesn't feel as squirmy as the softer Bridgestones. They even feel pretty good when its dry out.
I've used em a couple different times and never had a problem. They're pretty good tires for stretching too.
I've got Nankang's and i've had them for two years now (only runnin them in the summer)...They were cheap n i was broke so they were my choice :laugh: Haven't had a problem with them yet:thumbup:
Got a set of Continental Extreme Contact DW tires a few months ago.. great tires and highest ranked on Tire Rack.
I replaced my tires with some Continental ExtremeContact DW's in that size today and I'm very happy with them.
i ran 215/35/18's NSII's on an 8.5 last year and they stretched well... drove them all over last season and when i sold them they were at about 70-75% tread life left... they rode good, they were quiet, and good in the rain. for what they are i couldnt complain.
For winter I'm running Conti DWS on 17's and they've performed well. In snow my only limitation has been ground clearance.
i ordered some of the continental DWS's...all the reviews have them tops for all season and 50k warranty!
yea those nankang's are decent, not great by anymeans...but gets the job done and they do last a while.
