Michelin x-ice for sure. I bought a used set years ago and got a few seasons out of them, and then replaced them with Blizzaks. Regretted it immediately; the x-ice were so much better.
I went for the X-Ice on our car and mini-van. No complaints 3 winters in on both.
Big fan of the X-ice Snows though
I have used Michelin X-Ice and they are great.
I’ve had very good luck with X-Ice over the years.
The Continental Viking Contact 7 is the best winter tire I've ever driven on and the sneak peak I've had at the Viking Contact 8 looks like they've made it even better.
I like how little noise they make, their performance on both snow and ice, and how the treads don't fold over on one another.
For posterity, I've been running 235/45/18 Conti DWS06+ w/ no issues on the stock 18x7.5 ET45 Canyons lowered on Golf R front & Golf R Variant rear springs w/ Koni SA dampers for a little over a year: I think it's just about the perfect amount of sidewall myself, but would prefer another half inch of wheel width for flushness & sidewall contour.
I have the Continental VikingContact7 winter tires and I couldnt be happier. They have kept me out of some sticky situations.
I personally like the S4s but don't love them. They feel numb to me compared to say a continental sport contact 7.
I have 30k on my 22 hatch and while they still have tread depth the compound has deteriorated so badly that they understeer in the cold at low speed.
