Tires Continental or BRIDGESTONE

I’ve been using the continentals for years. Just got 55k miles on my 2022

Not all tires are equal, but I switched from Nexen to Continentals and traction is zero problem.

It isn't the car, it's the tire. I've been commuting in RWD LSs (first a 460, now a 500) for the last 13 years in Michigan with Bridgestone Blizzaks.

Generally, the best winter tires will be Bridgestone Blizzak.

I swapped them for Bridgestone Turanza and after 20,000 when I traded in, they were maybe a third worn.

Continental is the best, but expensive.

What started as a quick tune up turned into a full retro mod rebuild of my 2005 Trek 1500 USPS Edition and I honestly cannot believe how good this bike rides now. Early 2000s aluminum race frame with completely modern performance. It feels fast, alive, and razor sharp in corners.

I was considering the blizzak6 which are available in my size for both front and rear but might be overkill for most of the rest of the winter and likely counterproductive, so figured all seasons might be for the best. Choice of all season tyres is very limited, especially for the rear size, pretty much down to All season contact 2s but there’s a lot of feedback online about how they don’t feel particularly responsive on the front when steering which has me a bit concerned, so was thinking maybe of going cross climate 3 sports on the front and all season contact 2 at the back.

My biggest complaint was the Bridgestone tires. I had two replace two tires in the 2.5 years that I had this car. I had to wait nearly 2 weeks for a replacement to arrive.

I suffered with Ecopia tires for 50,000 miles. Nothing but headaches. Tire wobble at high speeds never went away after numerous rebalances. Nails and screws were seemingly drawn to these tires like magnets, although they repaired well enough to drive around, my tire light was constantly informing me of more trouble.  Never buying Bridgestone tires again.
