Check continental UC and Yokohama GT Max
Conti VikingContact. Best winter tires I’ve ever had. Highest recommendation.
Over the last 2200 miles (3540km) since I put my snows on, I've averaged 26.4mpg, or 8.9l/100km. At least half of those miles are in decent storms. I don't know how people get such horrible mileage in these cars- mine gets better than any previous Subaru I've owned, while going a hell of a lot faster.
I have the Terraincontacts. They have lasted almost 60k. I would get the Crosscontacts if I had to buy them all over though.
Walmart has the best price on the oem Continentals. We were very happy with the oem Continentals since they lasted over 80k miles and were still quiet and had good traction and fuel economy.
Continental
Decent grip, but there will be regular rain, still no cold: CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT SPORT 02
Dws06+ for sure. I use to be a Michelin guy and I switch to continental and I’d never go back now. Some of the best all round tires in my opinion. Only tire I run on my GS F!
TerrainContacts are fine, I’ve had them and the crosscontacts as well. Mileage was ass with the terrain contacts, but they were pretty quiet and were decent in the mud. Terrible in the snow after 50% treadwear, so be aware of that.
I wouldn’t buy any Continental tire . They last 20,000 miles if you’re lucky
