The other snow tire I used in my 14 years of driving is a Continental Winter Contact SI which was excellent on highway winter driving but not as good for snowy road driving.
I got a set of Continental Viking Contact 7 tires for my Impreza last winter when the shop didn't have Blizzaks in my size and I couldn't be happier with them.
Good ride, above average dry traction, hasn’t rained, above average mountain handling, not as quiet as Michelin or Continental at highway speed, but I got to keep some money I’d have spent otherwise.
I’m running continental extreme contact DWS06 ran me about $150 per tire.
Yokos are also a good choice and are good for more daily driving and highway driving and also last a long time
What a difference with the Contes….sooo much quieter. Could be the excitement, but I feel like it’s a bit flatter in the turns.
2013 limited eco AWD on Conti DWS06. I came from an Audi A4 Quattro on Blizzaks in the winter. The Flex ain’t the Audi but it’s pretty good.
Continental dws06 is the way to go. I put them on my
3 and love them.
We have Yokohama Avid Ascend's and they are wearing like a pigs nose. Probably 30K on them now and they are rated at either 70 or 80K life. I easily see us getting 70K from them. 41 psi and proper rotation.
My gp4000's popped CONSTANTLY. Got a hole in the sidewalls in less than 500 miles.
