Owner reviews for tires

the grip is unreal compared to my old tires. Tires - $611 shipped (Continental Extremecontact DW 235-40-18, TireBuyer.com)

R Wagon, studded 17" Good Year Ultra Grip Ice Arctic. I'll say no more..

Stock bridgstones suck in the snow, the best systems can't help wrong tires for the conditions. 18" X-ice3's, have PP and Jb1 power and the traction systems are very impressive in my opinion. The car limits the power aggressively to maintain traction and control even in very slick conditions (good thing).

It is pretty good with snow tires. Sometimes I disable ASR AND ESC so the car under steers less. But it is a huge improvement over my MK VI with snows.

I recently changed wheels and tires on my jetta and I really enjoy the new look as well as the grip from the new tires. I went with a set of hankook v2 and they feel pretty solid so far.

Nitto 555s on my Shelby were the best tire I've ever had on a car.they were super sticky and quiet.

The new Hankook V12 Evo2 is supposed to be better in terms of quietness and driveability. That may be a good buy on a budget.

The X-Ices are the best on your list, especially with the discount.

I can't input on the stretch, I am running the proxes 4 , I'm running a 19x8.5 with a 215-35 so my stretch is not close to what yours will be but I can tell you these tires are super loud with tons of road noise.

I drove a set of Triangle Talon tires for a year on my SVT. Dry traction was surprisingly not terrible but they were AWFUL in the slightest hint of wet weather. Forget cold weather.
