If you can afford them, the Continental Viking 8 are stellar. Best winter tire I've ever owned,
Been running these on my Q7 the last few winters. I’m in MA and it seems like we rarely get snow anymore, and the dry performance feels pretty on par with my all seasons. Just got back from a trip to VT where it was insanely cold, icy, and snowy and did a fair bit of driving on unpaved unplowed roads with no issue. I even intentionally tried to break traction or get the ABS to trigger and it just refused.
Got some for the SQ5. Great performance in the snow, while still pretty good on dry pavement. A bit prone to aqua planning on heavy rain days. I do find them a bit noisy on dry pavement after a couple seasons though, but that could be a snow tire thing.
For the mix of highway, logging roads, gravel, and winter stuff you’re seeing, something like the Continental TerrainContact A/T hits that sweet spot not as loud or aggressive as full A/Ts, but way tougher than the stock rubber and really solid in rain and light snow.
I have them on my SQ5. Agree with all the other comments, they’re excellent winter tires.
I’ve got those on my Miata. They’re insanely good, feels great on dry pavement unlike a lot of snow tires, and still performs well in the snow.
Best Winter tire I've had for sure. It's the perfect tire if snow isnt consistant but the cold temps are. Performs wonderfully on pavement while still maintaining excellent snow performance.
A set of Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ will run you just $670 on the Rack.
the continentals I have on my Mazda are cheaper than that, those tires better have gold on them
Gonna get new continentals tomorrow. There is cracking in the middle as well in between the groves that's just as bad so just gonna get it replaced before snow and cold temps come.
