Tires Continental or Cooper

I just got my M3 and bought a set of previous gen 18 inch rims, put continental viking contact 8's on them, so far good here in buffalo.

I got Coopers on both our pickup and VW Jetta in the past year. They were on sale. Seem good...

Honda accord does fine with some all weather tires. I use continental contipro contact. Never had an issue

Mechanic recommended Continental ProContacts as all-weathers for a small FWD VW sedan, and I've been happy with them for a couple winters.

I’ve been pleased with Cooper tires over the years. Both vehicles I have right now have Coopers on them.

I use good all season Cooper Tires on my Fusion and get around pretty good in the snow. Ice is always the wildcard.

I'm running the stock 19"s on my Mk8 with Continental Vikings. So far I'm content.

Continental Vikingcontact 7 is by far my favorite for snow and ice mix (we get a lot of slush with ice under it here). also pretty quiet for a winter tire on dry roads.

I put on Continental DWS06 tires in 245/40R18 and ran them the last 2 winters. They are good all around. But I feel they lack grip on sharp turns and don’t turn in as much as I would like (in snow). They aren’t fantastic on ice either. They are good if you are going to run one tire all year round. But after the wear to the point the “S” is no longer visible, I imagine the will not do great in the winter and you’ll have to replace them sooner.

It happened to my dad when he bought cooper tires. I'd like to avoid other brands that have dented sidewalls.
