I’m running Continental WinterContact TS 860S SSR snow tires in Maine. Made it 50-something miles to work Christmas Eve in at least 6” of unplowed snow out to the highway (including at least a 12” deep and wide bank at the end of the driveway with no momentum). Packed snow on the highway, and a fluffy snowbank as tall as the hood at the end of an off-ramp. That was just one of many adventures these tires have gotten me through between this winter and last.
Got myself Continental Viking Contact and they are the best overall (dry, wet, snow, ice, sound level and rolling resistance) while not much more than the prices you listed. Iv had my Viking Contact for 2 winters now and I love them!
I run mine with 35mm Continental Cyclocross speed tires but I bet a 38 would fit.
I got the continental this year and I really like those tires. I had put 11k on them and maybe they don’t last all warranty. But they said if they don’t last all, they give me credit for the remaining mileage to replace them with new ones. Which is great as I will pay less for a new set
The DWS06+ are phenomenal i run them on my R and I love them the grip is insane
I've used the SRS+ tires for all season driving. They are fantastic. Rain or snow, they had a good grip. The ride is very smooth. I do not regret getting them.
DWS06+ was also great tire for me. Was good in both summer and winter extremes. Surprised me last winter when I thought I would for sure be stuck in a blizzard as I went right past all the other AWD cars in the ditch and made it home. I did however notice that under moderate spirited driving the sidewall is pretty soft and likes to slightly roll over
Went with the DWS 6+ but they are noisy. Very grippy here in Vancouver though. I have doubts about them in the snow though.
I’m using the Continental 5000 TR S 32mm running tubeless.
Everytime I ride I get a puncture! It’s crazy and not sure why. I used one of the tire calculators and it has me at 68psi front, 70 rear.
Rode with a buddy couple weeks back who has the same tires and he got a puncture so bad on the rear it wouldn’t seal, we had to put a plug it.
I might try lowering the pressure and see what happens. Tires are new…
Avoid the nittos. They just aren't a good value and the company is behind the curve on tire compounds. Bought a wheel and tire pack for tracking thinking the discount was good with tires, wish I just bought the wheels alone in retrospect.
