I’ve put about 15,000 miles on a set of these. They’ve been great. Grip is great for winter tires and did well in some snow. The tread still looks great after 15k miles too, so should last you a long time.
I just got all 4 replaced to UC6.
Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ if you a real hustler and got that pape right
So, just drove them through the snow. I previously had cross climate 2 on the car and I liked them because they made the car feel unstoppable in snow and rain. But with that came an awful noisy and hard ride. The continentals do everything the Michelin does but BETTER at the trade off of snow traction… About 2 inches of snow this morning and I’ll say this. They get the job done.
very happy with my "continental extreme contact sport" 205/50/r15
I used continentals on mine. It'll improve your driving experience alot, especially when you want that grip.
Budget for snow tires. AWD is not magic, and you generally can't use chains with AWD systems. In terms of cars, Subarus are good and reliable. I've owned two Foresters.
I'm on my second set of Continental Extreme Contact DSW06 Plus for my XC60. I bought them because i want tires that won't let me down if I have to maneuver hard at high speed, have good heat tolerance, and have superb wet weather grip. I love these tires. They're not as soft a ride as some tires but they've never slid on me. I took my last set down to 2/32 and even then it had rock solid grip in the rain. The other nice part is that Continental warranties these to 40k miles and stands by it. I killed my last set in a little over 30k because of how I drive. They refunded me roughly 25% of what I originally paid for them which I put towards a new set. If they're still making these when the current set burns out I'll buy them again.
They aren't bad, but not great. They are basic tirees that will get you from point A to B. I just bought a set for my Buick Encore after having Continental tires. Drove cross country with them. Obviously not as good as the Continentals, but they are a safe, reliable, tire from a reputable brand. Keep them rotated during oil changes and you should be just fine.
5000 miles on new 2023 Accord Hybrid Sport, and my Continental Eagle Touring, 235/40 R19 96V are leaking air. Very disappointed, bought the car new one year ago.
