Tires Continental or BRIDGESTONE

In Wisconsin on my 2019 Atlas sel premium v6 I use Winter Tires Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 245/60R18 on Atlas OEM rims.

Blizzaks, but my wheels are scratched to hell ????

I tried blizzaks years ago and they were ok. Then I tried Vikingcontact 7's and have stuck with them for multiple vehicles.

I've used Blizzaks on my OBXT for years and swear by them. Got them for my tundra too. Pretty incredible what a good tire will allow you to do.

For the past 3 winters I ran Michelin Xice, this year I went with Blizzak WS80s and man, they are on another level entirely.

Based on Tirerack reviews, I'm leaning towards the Continental Vikingcontact7 which I'll use from Thanksgiving until early March. Anyone tried these tires? If so, how would you rate them?

Vikingcontact7s. Not the absolute best tires out there, but I think the best for the price

same fxt same blizzaks - cant complain after 5 years of snowmobile like winter performance.

Not too sure if the continental are especially weak on the sidewalls, but I blistered 2 tires in a single summer + a leak on a third one. I'm a "careful" driver when it comes to preserving the integrity of my car lol. Montreal, Canada, is known for its ****ty road quality... So yeah, these tires are super easy to damage!

Kenda sucks. Immediately replace for Continental. Super sports last for at least 6 months pf daily use.
