Tires Continental or Cooper

I went back with Continentals as replacements because I got 80k miles out of them.

Continental 195 65 15 on all four corners -- fantastic snow traction in a front drive with traction control. It would beat SUV's with all seasons in a stoplight snow drag race.

My coopers have always worked amazingly well in the snow, and are quite affordable if timed right with rebates.

I have Continentals on two of my cars. Wouldn’t settle for anything less. And we get a lot of snow and ice.

Continental touring+ is legit too. Havent had 1 flat since I switched several years ago.

Highly recommend Conti Dws 06. While not as sticky on dry compared to the Dunlop’s I had zero issues last winter.

The Continental ECS (Extreme Contact Sport) are worlds ahead of them and do amazing in the rain.

I use the DWS06 currently, used on 17 CWP as well. I only notice the sidewall negatively when trying to take highway on-ramp curve at high speeds. But even then it’s not dramatically different than stock Dunlop’s. I actually enjoy them more during the rest of driving because of smoothness.

I run mine at 36 (cold), had them about 8.5k now. I used 38 for a while but once they start to wear and the tread squirm and tread depth starts to go away, they don't ride quite as soft as when they are new. Mine are probably 35 - 40% worn. Steering response gets a lot better as they wear too.

I replaced them with more expensive Conti TS810 RFT. *Big mistake*. They ride like a rock, I expected more from updated run-flat tires.
