Owner reviews for tires

I've only driven on them for 30 miles but holy crap are these things amazing. These winters grip better in the cold than the crappy Firestone summers my car came on grip the warm. I'm able to launch a 0-60 with minimal wheel spin and without chirping the tires on the 1-2 shift. These are also softer and quieter than any Blizzaks or X-Ice Snows I've had. They're soft and squishy and compliant. They give a great ride and still retain some steering feedback.

Lately I really like the Michelin XIce series. I'm on my third set of these between me and my wife, and they're great for our typical winters. Awesome on ice, really good on wet roads, great handling and mileage on dry roads, and still better in deep snow than any all-season.

Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ if you a real hustler and got that pape right

Everyone has their own favorite brand. I've only ever driven Honda cars and over the years I've had General Altimax Arctic, Michelin X-ice, and Bridgestone Blizzak. Of those my favorite are the Blizzak, but the difference between the brands are not that big.

I have had them for 3 winters on a Corolla and found them very good for snow, and decent for ice albeit not quite as good as Blizzaks or Hakkapellitas on ice. They ride quietly and have decent tread wear ratings.

Nokians are awesome tires... Only winter I've liked more are my general Altimax tires, but have only put them through one season (albeit a hard winter).

My current tire is a Michelin Commander III....200/55R17 and is exactly as I described, bald from side to side with a little tread left on the outside.

Just realized Carmax put a new set of these on the 2020 Mustang I bought from them.  Easily the worst performing tire in the rain that I have ever encountered.  Instant hydroplaning on concrete, when there isn't even much of any water.  At least knowing how terribly cheap these tires are, I may not feel bad replacing them before their end of trade life.  Dangerous!  Avoid!

Just got these on my wife's cx5 and yeah they didn't feel much better than the blizzaks we just removed. Then she texted over the weekend to say they're the loudest tires she's ever had and the road noise is terrible.
