Tires Continental or BRIDGESTONE

Wife and son drive Blizzaks - she on her 4Runner here in New England; son who lives in Denver and does a ton of snowboarding (Jetta). Both very happy with them.

We have Blizzaks WS90s on our CX5. They were on our Highlander before that. This will be season four on them and they will be replaced because of age, not wear. I love the Blizzaks and will buy them again for sure. Great ride, great grip in all conditions, and surprising longevity.

We put Conti VikingContact 7 on the Passat last winter. They are fantastic. They've actually scared me more than once when I realized that I just drove thru stuff I should be careful on but never even noticed it.

My Mazda3's all have had Blizzak WS60's, 80's and my 3rd gen is on WS90's. Love them!

I have the new VikingContacts on the AWD Alfa and they are even better. Both the Generals and Contis responded better at warmer temps, if that matters to you.

I had a set on my Explorer last winter and was seriously impressed. They actually ended up being just about perfect - more compliant than my 21" Pirellis, but far firmer, quieter, and enjoyable than I could have ever hoped for. Performance in the snow was incredible

I had WS80s on my Mazda 6 for 6 years and they still had lots of tread left when I traded the car in. I had WS90s on my ATS and they were excellent too.

Continental. Had it for about a year now. Love them. Have had Pirelli and BFGs on previous cars but the Continental's are the best tire I've ever had.

From my experience between PSS and CSC05's The Contis are a lot less sticky (comparatively anyway) and have a bit more flex.

I've had 2 failures with Continental tires.. One was the DWS and the other was a ContiSport?.. both were sidewall failures. The ContiSport tire broke its band, and the tire became distorted, while the DWS tires softer sidewall was cut open when my wife hit a pothole.
