Tires Continental or BRIDGESTONE

I have Blizzaks on my AWD BMWs right now, and it makes a huge difference.

If you NEED a great snow tire, nothing beats winter forces or blizzaks.

We got a big snowfall over Thanksgiving, I have these exact tires on my ND. They're great. Obviously they move around a lot more on dry roads but they are excellent in the snow. Acceleration and cornering are great and I had no issues on fairly steep hills either. Like any tire in the snow though, you must leave plenty of stopping distance.

Used to drive those on my NA and passed stranded vehicles daily in the same weather

They're great in snow/ice.

They can be squirmy on dry pavement.

I use the Conti DWS06+ on my WRX. If you're going with an all season, that's my top recommendation.

I’ve been using blizzaks for almost as decade as my winter tires on my ND. My winter wheels are -1” and the tires are slightly larger in diameter than my summers (~1%). They grip and I feel confident when driving in the snow or rain in winter months.

I run 315/30/18 ECF on my C5 base. I’m about 30 cycles in and they’re starting to die. They’re a good tire that gets up to temp pretty quick and last the whole session. That being said, they aren’t worlds grippier than the 275 conti ecs i replaced.

Mine only lasted 30 thousand miles and developed uneven where even after always rotated and balancing them. They are loud and they always feel unbalanced because they shake like crazy when cold.

I've hat them on for 30 thousand miles and they are crap they started rotten and extreme uneven wear.
