My M40i has the dedicated winters, Conti VikingContact 8 snow & ice tires. Went smaller width than stock, tire diameter is within 2% 235/55-R19. Non RF of course. About $1100 mounted, balanced, and storage of my all-season tires.
I swap my tires 2 weeks ago on the VB for some Pirelli CINTURATO WeatherActive all weather and \u201cOh boy\u201d they are good for snow. Way better than the DSW06.
I’ve had both Blizzaks and Continental Vikingcontact on our vans. Both have been great. The Continentals are a little quieter on bare pavement, which is why I got them.
i just got a set for a hundred bucks off marketplace. Continental brand 225/60/R17 and theyre pretty damn good.
Our other car is a 2015 mazda 3 with continental vikings. No complaints there as well.
First driving impressions reveal that the ride is indeed much improved, speed humps are no longer intimidating and it rides much smoother and quieter on your typical city street.
I had that problem when I switched from the OEM Michelins on my Model 3 to the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 tires; I lost about 10% range.
I had 35mm Gravelking Slicks and now 40mm Pirelli Cinturato H. I miss slicks, the Cinturator H has noticeable knob rumble on smooth tarmac. I don't know if they're actually any slower but they feel at home on rougher surfaces.
The stock and subsequent 20" Conti Pro Contact sucked. I went thru so many tire hitting a smallish pothole at various speeds at on/off ramps, side streets, highways, turns, etc. I would get a bubble every time.
My experience with Continental Tire...I loved them. My wife loved them. Right up to the point that the second set tried to do us in. Driving home to the SF Bay Area from So. Cal on a hot summer day. Right rear tire fails suddenly and catastrophically with 2/3rds of the tread separating from the carcass.
