Owner reviews for tires

Goodyear reliant at Walmart is very good $77 same as Goodyear assurance, they drive great I've had 4 sets on several cars

Still good looking tires for a pilot/passport. I really like the stock contis.

I think the OP made a great decision in getting some Continental DWS 06 tires vs. using those summer tires. I have used Conti DWS 06 tires in Winter while living in Colorado, Maine, Mississippi and now Germany. For places like Colorado and Maine, I'd recommend the Conti DWS 06 as a 3-season tire and then using a dedicated Winter tire. For Mississippi, the Conti DWS 06 is all you will ever need even for the most severe MS Winter. For Germany the Conti DWS 06 is doing a great job, for the severe winter days that are quite seldom, I have my Atlas with 4Motion and All-Weather tires.

For Winter tyres, in terms of noise and harshness, the Vredestein Wintrac Pro and Hankook Winter i*cept Evo³ are trading blows with each other. I noticed, that the Hankook is noisier on some surfaces, while the Vredestein is on others. Same with bumps. Neither is crashy though or loud. The noise they make it is also a low tone, so not disturbing.

I have some Michelin Defenders TH on my Lexus, they're whisper quiet. They leave some to be desired in wet/snow traction.

I bought now Kleber Quadraxer 3 all season tyre's and those are so comfortable and silent that I feel like I would change a car.

Honestly, I was surprised how refined in terms of NVH the Continental Sport Contact 7 is. I've got them in 235/35 R19 and comfort-wise I wasn't expecting anything to be honest, but it was a nice surprise!

For Winters the Fulda Kristall Montero 3

Then switched to hyundai Genesis coupe wheels with Pirelli scorpions AS plus 3. Now I’m on 17” reika with Falken wildpeak at trail 245/65/17. I loss mpg/ev as well.

Routine maintenance at VW dealer alerted me to tire cracks. Cracks would be an understatement. The tires had 14,000 miles on them. They are meant to be under warrantee. The local tire store and I phoned each Vredestein and left messages. I wrote the company three times. No response.
