Owner reviews for tires
Wild peaks all dayyyyy
A set of studded Firestone winterforce..
7 seasons and still great.
Studded Cooper discoverer snowclaws not much to look at but excellent traction on snow and ice
Kenda Klever RTs. I've never been so happy with a tire. I also ran Terra Grappler G2s that seemed to do well.
General Grabber Arctic LTs for snow and ice. I also run KO2s in the summer, but they don't have great stopping power on icy or snow-packed roads. The Arctic LTs are just amazing in those conditions, I'm really happy with them as a winter tire.
If so, I'll be happy to support Goodyear and buy my next tires from them!
I wanted to post my thoughts after a first winter drive with these Contis. They are stock 19" tires on my R and came with the vehicle. The VikingContact 7s have been more than excellent. Compared to the Conti TS830s, I definitely do not feel like I am at times running a summer tire in the winter. For this winter I feel completely confident in bad conditions like the X Ice 3 was. However, the HUGE plus is on dry conditions which happens a lot during winter here. I always felt the slight sponginess of the X Ice 3 (18s would have made a difference for sure), but these VikingContact 7s in dry are spectacular. They truly do everything in winter extremely well, and I would never think of buying another tire again...they are that good.
Pirelli Sotozerro. There is only snow on the ground for maybe 5 days total but for the rest of winter I want anything BUT the loud highway drone of Blizzaks
For rears, Ironman Imove or Accelera PHI. Kendas are overrated.
