Owner reviews for tires

second winter with my mk8 as well over on the east coast. the frequent issue I run into is my front assist being unavailable from snow / ice. Otherwise I find it very smooth in the winter, I almost prefer winter driving as opposed to spring-fall. my car drives better on my 17" winters than my 19" oem wheels.

You are completely fine. I drive an LC500 in NJ. Put on the Michelins and rarely brakes tractions.

I have Firestone weather grips and I like them a lot and they were half the cost of cross climate 2s

I put snow tires on the day before a pretty good snowfall in Northeast Pa. This is my first WRX, I burned a half tank and had the time of my life. 10/10 best car ive driven in the snow

I have ran Firestone Winterforce and Firestone Winterforce 2 on my RWD R/T Chargers since 2009 and have zero complaints.

I've had multiple sets of Continental CrossContact LX25 tires over the years and get by just fine every winter. I'm in Columbus though.

I run 315/30/18 ECF on my C5 base. I’m about 30 cycles in and they’re starting to die. They’re a good tire that gets up to temp pretty quick and last the whole session. That being said, they aren’t worlds grippier than the 275 conti ecs i replaced.

Right now I've got a set of Yok A052s on for autocross. They've served me well for that purpose, but everyone says not to run them on the track or that's the end of those tires. Given the wear I've seen just from one short season of autocross, I believe them.

I found those didnt wear well at all also noisy

This is standard for Michelin summer tires. They're not recommend for track use since they overheat and start to chunk.
