Tires Continental or Sailun
I have the continental extreme contact on my NB, and same. Those tires are fantastic. I dont get to push those tires nearly as hard because the car is not nearly as powerful as the ND is. But, I trust those tires very much.
I got some Continental extreme contact dws 06 plus one size, 235, for my nd and they're great
I bought Conti Viking 7s this year for our Golf 7 wagon. I have to say that I'm very impressed with them. Again, never lost confidence in them in the worst weather we've had this winter.
For a Corolla, mixing one odd tire isn't the end of the world, but if you've already got one Sailun on there, paying the extra $100 to make all four match is usually worth it just for consistent grip and braking especially since you're in NJ and see winter nastiness. Sailuns aren't fancy but they're totally fine for daily driving
My VikingContact 7’s made it look easy lol
No issues at all on DWS06+'s. Plowed through some untreated parking lots with ease.
When the GP 5000's came out, it was a first for me. I actually wrote to Conti to tell them how good they were.
I went with the same tire and size with the Model X rims, up from the 19s. I'm seeing about a 9% range loss around town, but I'm also driving it a lot harder now that I have the traction. I do feel like I have a lot more camber in the rear, that I definitely need to take care of. Most surprisingly, I think the ride is so much better than the 19 Cont Rxs. Sound seems ok, but I think I got a bad tire or something because my front drivers side tire makes a lot of noise. I was hoping it would go away, but it seems to have gotten worse.
I wouldn't get anything lower quality than the Sailun, especially for winter. I think Sailun and Nitto have okay options for all weather, but if you can spend a bit more for better brands (premium or the ones mentioned by other commenters) it's probably worth it up to a certain point.
I bought a set of Sailluns several years ago because they were a couple of hundred cheaper than name brand tires. I had them a week and the tire shop tried to balance them twice and they still shook like crazy. Tire shop ended up putting Kumhos on my van for free because of the trouble I had with the cheap tires. I quit buying cheap tires after that.
