Tires Continental or Firestone

Best AT's out there for snow that I've found is Firestone Destination XTs (exculding their AT2's due to your vehicle).

I run Continental TrueContact 225/70/16 now. They are stickier than the Michelins, especially in wet conditions, and I regularly get 26+ mpg in my E.

I'm.running Conti DWS06 235/40 on all 4 corners. I looked hard at the Michelin Pilot Sports, watched a few comparison videos. Both are very similar in performance with the Michelins slightly better overall.The Contis have a slight edge in the snow.

I switched to Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06+ and they are the best ultra high performance all season tires. Been running them for almost 30kms now, Better than Michelin Pilot Sport 4 AS..

If you are in the snowy bit of the Midwest go with the Continental DWS06 since it’s probably the best non-snow tire in snow. If you don’t get constant deep snow get Michelin Pilot Sport 4S since they are all around better in everything but snow.

Very happy with the DWS06. 235/40 square.

Been running DWS06 plus since 2300 miles and I’m very happy about them

Love my Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 tires. They perform well in all types of weather.

I had this same model on my prior VAG vehicle (in 245/40R19) and pretty typical for OEM tires: smooth ride, reasonably quiet, handles ok (both dry & wet), and can cope with an early- or late-season light snow when you're caught unexpectedly w/o your winter or all-weather tires.

I am still not impressed with these tires. I'm just about to hit 14k miles on these tires and they are some of the worst tires I've had. Definitely going to replace them before winter. We average 6-8 inches of snow every winter and these tires are like race slicks in the snow.
