Tires Continental or Vredestein
I’d recommend the continental extreme contacts.. best bang for buck with all seasons imo..
I upgraded to continental dws 06+, for the price I don't think you can beat them. more than double the treadlife of the stock tires, great performance in varying driving conditions.
I've been really happy with my Vredesteins. They are extremely quiet which is a big plus for me.
Continental VikingContact 7 on steel rims.
Best I’ve had in 24 brutal Montreal winters.
Continental Extreme DWS on my wagon, 18". They ride really nice and are way more aggressive than the pirellis that either of my volvos came with.
Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 is a better overall tire, and tested betting in dry and wet traction...
I bought a set of continental LX25s and they've been great so far.
I think the OEM tires are crap so I changed them out about a month after I got the car. Went to Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02's.
I've bought a set of quatrac 5 vredesteins for my X5 ... 2.5/3 years ago ... about halfway worn after 25k miles.
To be honest, in the dry ... easy to reach and surpass the adhesion limit at moderate speeds, feel is mehh at best. Quiet tires, decent tread life, comfortable but no where near the advertised levels. Currently during the winter ... moderate snow ... nothing spectacular, slightly better grip off the line than the duellers, fairly predictable, but a bit short on lateral grip ... so if you are braking and trying to cut a corner on snow ... better be awake so you don't end up in a ditch nose first.
No. Continental made terrible tires in IMSA. Michelin came in this year and records were set at every single track in nearly every class.
