I have continental extreme contact are around $170 and I like them.
I’ve have Continental DWS06 Plus’s on my WRX for 3.5 years and haven’t slid in the snow once. I live in Western Pa and get about 27-35 inches of snow a year.
I have some Continental VikingContact 7s and they seem to be doing pretty good in Wisconsin snow.
Continental Extreme Contact 2. It's EXACTLY what my NB needed.
Continental ECS 02. 205/50-15. $140 each.
Even though a 340 rating they bite hard and still do quite well with cooler weather and light rain.
All season continental.
I have run DWS06+'s all year long on my dailies for years... They are unbeatable. I currently have a GR Corolla with them and it doesn't matter what season or what the conditions are... It crushes it.
I was running Conti ECS 02s on my just recently traded in 2022 GT RF and they were fantastic. Can’t wait to put those on my 2025 RF Club as soon as I need tires. Huge difference in both wet and dry. Coming from 2 sets on Michelin pilot sports and 2 sets of pilot sport 4s on my old Stage 3 8V Audi S3 and the Conti’s are very very similar to me in what I do as far as aggressive driving.
The OEM Hankooks (on my 24') go full slip and slide mode if there's a drop of water on the road anywhere within 3 miles.
I can turn the "heavy steering" wheel with two pinched fingers and just my wrist when driving. It's not a big deal.
Diff breather mod.
Check the rain channels on the roof for cracking paint. Dealer should fix that as it's considered a workmanship warranty, else you can apply clear coat to the spots yourself to seal them when it inevitably cracks again.
If a leaf ever gets under the moulding/gasket around the windshield it can and will sound like your front speakers are crackling and dying when driving past 60 MPH and make your blood pressure go up trying to figure out what the hell is making that noise.
My 2023 model 3 LR came with Hankook Kinergy GT M&S tires. Based on the tire rack reviews I think they are almost identical to the Hankook Ion tires.
If so. My experience with the Kinergy tires was not great. While they were super efficient (lifetime average 246wh/mile) they gave up early on spirited cornering on both dry and wet pavement (might be the difference between avoiding a potential accident). They are adequate in winter driving. Where the were outright dangerous was hydroplaning.
