Just swapped out my stock 32s for GP5000 28s and it’s noticeably faster.
I know it wasn’t included in the ask, but the Continental LX25 are a fantastic tire as well. We live in Northeast PA and these have been great all around. I’ve used Continentals for almost 20 years and haven’t been disappointed yet.
I put Continental ExtremeContact on my Miata last Summer and I am all in on those tires. I could not overdrive them.
Amazing tire… I’m on my second set.
Awd on stock conti tires. This is my second winter…
Just point and hit the gas. The awd will figure it out.
I just bought a set of winter Vredesteins in November and so far, I've been very, very pleased with their performance (coming from a history of Blizzaks, then more recently Michelin Alpins).
I have Continental DWS06+ on my Mini Cooper SE w/ roulette wheels. They perform well enough for all seasons.
It sounds like your issues are mostly due to the tires. The stock tires aren't very good in the [snow and cold](https://www.tirerack.com/tires/continental-procontact-rx). I changed my tires to better all-weather tires (Vredestein Quatrac Pros) and saw great performance in snow for the last two winters in Chicago.
My wife has ExtremeContact DWS 06 in her car and the car feels floaty. I think it's these ExtremeContact just have softer sidewalls.
My last two sets of tires were Hankook Ventus V2, which were okay (no idea how they are M+S rated) and a set of Continental ContiProContacts which I bought after several recommendations from friends and I will never buy another Continental tire in my life, they were terrible in almost every single way.
