Tires Hankook or Continental
Continental wintercontact si is damn good value for money and outperforms blizzaks. I use them on my rwd car and there great. Definitely recommend them.
When it's time to replace my all seasons, I will likely be going with Nokian WRG. I had older generation Conti DWS on my gti and while they were great, the snow traction was only on the first 10k miles of tread. I hear the current Continental DWS 06 are better.
No complaints from the lo pro Continentals so far.
I live in Vancouver as well, and went up to Whistler/Squamish/Cypress in the snow last winter with my R equipped with my "winter" setup of Conti DWS 06 and it was more than fine. She handled it like a champ.
The continental tires ride real quite for their size.
So I have 2800km on mine, mixed city and highway. I have just under 9/32 on the front and just over 9/32 in the rear. These again are the continental 5P new they have 10/32.
my Contipros are great at 34 psi
I have the Hankooks as well and overall I like them. we have pretty smooth roads around here so they are pretty quiet. I didn't have any issues during this past El Niño.
The Hankooks are great daily driver tires, but after running one autocross on them I was not happy with them for performance driving. I have them on my BMW.
Stock Contis are history at 30K The roaring inside the cabin due to cupping has become unbearable, so I wear foam earplugs and my shooting muffs over them.
