So, just drove them through the snow. I previously had cross climate 2 on the car and I liked them because they made the car feel unstoppable in snow and rain. But with that came an awful noisy and hard ride. The continentals do everything the Michelin does but BETTER at the trade off of snow traction… About 2 inches of snow this morning and I’ll say this. They get the job done.
very happy with my "continental extreme contact sport" 205/50/r15
I used continentals on mine. It'll improve your driving experience alot, especially when you want that grip.
Years ago they cross-threaded several of my bolts with an air wrench. Recently I tried them again however as they had better pricing than any other shop in town. Got a great deal on some Toyos. They did good work - no issues since.
I'm on my second set of Continental Extreme Contact DSW06 Plus for my XC60. I bought them because i want tires that won't let me down if I have to maneuver hard at high speed, have good heat tolerance, and have superb wet weather grip. I love these tires. They're not as soft a ride as some tires but they've never slid on me. I took my last set down to 2/32 and even then it had rock solid grip in the rain. The other nice part is that Continental warranties these to 40k miles and stands by it. I killed my last set in a little over 30k because of how I drive. They refunded me roughly 25% of what I originally paid for them which I put towards a new set. If they're still making these when the current set burns out I'll buy them again.
My favourites are actually a Toyo that incorporates walnut shells into the rubber. I know it sounds ridiculous but having compared and tried a few, including the blizzaks, they were noticeably better in all winter conditions than anything else. For context, mine were put on a Sonata and I called them squid pelts because of the grip they provided.
Consider the quiet “Continental Cross Contact LX” all season. I was surprised at their quality
Ran those Conti’s on my wife’s E63S and was very impressed.
More grip than I expected in dry and wet plus incredible ride comfort.
I’ve always ran the Conti DWS06 all seasons, probably 8 different sets of them on numerous types of vehicles. I love the tires when they are new (dry, wet and snow) until about 1/3 thread… then they become noisy imo.
I have lx25s for my equinox and the tread life is awful on them. They have less than 20k miles on them and we’re past 70% tread on them.
