Personally I went with the Continental Pure Contact LS tires. You do take a hit on efficiency, but it's much better in the rain and snow and wears much better as well. I have 25k miles on mine now and they look like they will last at least another 75k miles.
That is exactly what I did. I am running 18x8.5 +45 with 235/45/18 Conti DWS06. Very happy with my decision.
I love my Contact Spike 240's in 38mm. On smooth tarmac you can hear a small ticking noise but nothing obnoxious. Rolling resistance is fine. Grip is fantastic as long as the spikes can find something hard to bite into.
A couple weeks ago I attended the endurance race and Continental was giving out used tires, so maybe.
You can't go wrong with the Continental Kryptotal Fr/Re combo. I've tried DHF/Aggressor, Assegai/Aggressor, Dissector/Aggressor, DHF/DHR2 and Assegai/DHR2 and the Kryptotals are by far my favorite combo. They offer amazing traction with inexplicably low rolling resistance.
Continentals are probably the best of the bunch but also most expensive - have heard good things about all 4 on sedans.
Contis VC7 were better on ice AND snow but especially road noise here in Montreal.
Going on my fourth winter with Continental Viking Contact 7’s. Unbelievable tires. Great in all conditions with unbelievable tread wear.
I’m running 5000tl on my Aeolus 5. With three tire levers it’s like 5 min a tire now that I’ve got the system down.
Terrible tires with tons of road noise.
