Owner reviews for tires

Falken and Nokian tyres are my favorites for winter. Falken allyear tyres in the spring and fall, and studded Nokian tyres during winter.

Blizzak is always good. If temps go below 7 degrees celcius, its clever to use winter. I am usin semperit speedgrip 5 personally because it was cheap and good tire. Not the best but not expensive either. Its been good so far but haven't snow yet

Just got Blizzaks from Costco and they literally changed my life.

I had the precursors to those viking contacts on my 17 forester and thought they were great.

I have run blizzak ws90s. Honestly out of the 3 I feel like blizzak are the best compromise. Snow performance is good. Ice performance is not quite as good as studded obviously but still good.

I've run Hakkapeliittas, Blizzaks, and currently VikingContacts on my various Subarus. They've all been great but the VikingContacts have been my favorite of the 3.

I have Blizzaks they're amazing. They are also studdless. So they are quiet. I am a serious skier. I have never not made it to the mountain with my Blizzaks.

I've had the Altimax in the past and they are totally fine. But the Vikings are really great. Between these two I would get the Contis unless you can get a killer deal on the Altimax

+1 for the BFG Comp2 A/S Plus. I've had a couple sets of the DWS06 tires, but used them as "three season tires," as they are trash in any real snow. But for the other three seasons, they were good.

I bought tires from walmart exactly once. One developed a big bulge in the sidewall after a couple days, one didn't hold air, one had a knock, and they fucked up the weight placement on one so it was hitting my caliper. Never again.
