Been using continental viking contact 7, no issues. Obviously the new 8s would be even better.
Owner reviews for tires
I swear by Conti Viking Contact (7 or 8) and Bridgestone Blizzaks. I’m in Canada and trust me those rip through the snow
Battlax S22 on a Ninja 650. Makapit. Confidence inspiring pag lean both wet and dry. Subok ko na inakyat ko ng marilaque habang maulan. Been using it since July and happy about it.
I’ve run blizzaks- x-ice- nokians. Preference for the nokians but the x-ice is a close second.
Get some severe snow rated all weather tires. Nokian WRG5s. I have been running their light trail tires on my Q5 and I have been extremely impressed. They handle white out blizzards on Utah mountain passes like a champ.
Blizzak ws90. Had them on my rwd g37 and made it through every winter/snow here in Missouri when I sold the car I kept the wheels&tires for my current car lol
my summer tires are Uniroyal Power Paw summers and they do pretty okay. i dont get a lot of traction in the rain mainly because it doesn’t rain a lot where I live so when it does rain it just draws a bunch of oil out of the asphalt which makes it slick.
I have around 20,000km (12,000mi) on my Kumho tires 2024 hybrid 20"), they are around 60% life, but I never go down to the wear bars. So call them half gone. I'll expect to get about 26,000ish miles.
I tow semi frequently but am otherwise easy on my tires - no hard launches, no high speed hard cornering. Rotate them about every 10,000km as it works out to swap my winter wheels on.
The OEM tires are junk. I had the kumho 7's, replaced them by 25k and they weren't great even when new.
I had to get rid of my Michelin Wranglers after 25k because they kept getting rock punctures in them and then I had to get them plugged. After the 3rd rock I decided to switch
