If your roads get plowed and you’ll only deal with 2” of snow at most, then the DWS06+ or Pilot AS4 are the way to go. The DWS handle wet a lot better than the AS4. The AS4 handles dry a little bit better than the DWS, and rides a bit better.
Really liked the Toyo Observe. Micheline X-Ice and Bridgestone Blizzaks are highly rated. Since we just got into an Atlas, I ended up picking up a set of OEM wheels and Continental Viking Contact 7 tires just last week. Found a set on Facebook that were one year old. Continental seems to have good ratings but am not sure how they will compare to the Toyo I am used to.
Fwiw, replacing the stock Pirellis with Continental CrossContacts has made such a huge difference in ride quality and noise. The OEM Pirellis are garbage.
I’d recommend the continental extreme contacts.. best bang for buck with all seasons imo..
I upgraded to continental dws 06+, for the price I don't think you can beat them. more than double the treadlife of the stock tires, great performance in varying driving conditions.
Continental VikingContact 7 on steel rims.
Best I’ve had in 24 brutal Montreal winters.
Continental Extreme DWS on my wagon, 18". They ride really nice and are way more aggressive than the pirellis that either of my volvos came with.
Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 is a better overall tire, and tested betting in dry and wet traction...
From my experience between PSS and CSC05's The Contis are a lot less sticky (comparatively anyway) and have a bit more flex.
I went from a set of nokian hakkapalitas to Blizzaks on a 2017 Jetta GLI. Learn from my mistake and never do this!!! You only save money until you need to get pulled out of the ditch.
