Tires Continental or BRIDGESTONE

10x better than the continentals in snow.

I got new tires for my mk7 Jetta gli yesterday at Discount Tires. Continental dws06plus, 225/45/18, or whatever stock size is. Great tires. Holy cow, these tires make the car drive that much better.

My favorite tire for the typical forester/outback suburb crowd I see at work is still the Continental contiprocontact series. Decent wear, decent performance, easy to install, easy to patch, balance is usually good.

I've been running a set of Weatherpeaks on my Kia Seltos since spring.

They are quiet, didn't impact fuel mileage at all from the OEM all seasons, handle great in dry and wet, and the snow traction has been exemplary. Glare ice is not perfect, but really only a good studded winter stands a chance with that. Mixture of snow/ice is handled with no problem...When they do break traction, they have been very predictable and easy to recover.

I put a set of 4 weatherpeaks on our FWD Mazda 3 and I have been very pleased. Quiet, smooth, surprising good in the snow (especially for fwd). And great in dry and rain so far too. Would absolutely buy again.

I've always had good performance out of Conti GPs. I've tried other brands but keep coming back to them.

I wanted to post my thoughts after a first winter drive with these Contis. They are stock 19" tires on my R and came with the vehicle. The VikingContact 7s have been more than excellent. Compared to the Conti TS830s, I definitely do not feel like I am at times running a summer tire in the winter. For this winter I feel completely confident in bad conditions like the X Ice 3 was. However, the HUGE plus is on dry conditions which happens a lot during winter here. I always felt the slight sponginess of the X Ice 3 (18s would have made a difference for sure), but these VikingContact 7s in dry are spectacular. They truly do everything in winter extremely well, and I would never think of buying another tire again...they are that good.

Just swapped out my stock 32s for GP5000 28s and it’s noticeably faster.

Long-time fan of Conti 4000's. Discovered the Conti 5000's were too tight to fit my previous wheelset, Mavic Ksyrium Elite UST.

Currently, pairing Pirelli PZero Velo 4S tubeless with HED Belgium Plus wheels. The Conti 5000's do fit and run well with the HED wheels.

The problem is that the more aggressive the snow [tires] the noisier they were. After 4 seasons on Blizzaks I was ready to burn them.
