Get the Firestone All Seasons, or Firestone Wearhergrip All Weather tire. Both are excellent for snow, rain - any weather.
It may not be universal, but I can tell you from my experience, Continentals and damn good tires.
Firestone Destination AT2. Central Oregon driving in the deserts, highways, ice & snow while often pulling a travel trailer. “No regerts.”
I went with the Continentals. Been on them for almost a year now. Feel great with good grip for spirited driving in the mountains.
OEM Continental Cross contact lasted about 40k miles.
I’ll third the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02s. Every bit of what you’d expect from a flagship summer performance tire. Dry grip is phenomenal, with excellent wet weather performance. Steering feel has been very complementary to the quick rack on the Giulia. Noise level is very good, considering the overall package - much improved over the original ECS I had on my SS. I don’t think you can go wrong with either these or the PS4S.
I also put Continental ExtremeContact tires on. While they recommended summer performance tires, I went with all-seasons. A little more sidewalk flex but I still had to drive it when conditions got below freezing.
i went from shitty $70 westlakes on my crown vic, to $230 a piece continental dws06+. felt like a completely different car and handles so much better.
I had them on my excursion and while they do ride nice and look cool they will be a hit on mpg, as all AT tires will. And this is where you have to be honest with yourself, we all want to pretend that we take our SUV, off-road, and have adventures with it but, if I’m being real with myself, 95% of its time on road and that other 5% of the time is not a trail that would require an aggressive tire. I saw a decrease of 15% on both of the SUVs I traded a highway oriented tire for an AT tire. And in all honesty it’s definitely not worth that fuel economy loss. Yeah sure they look cool but now in my jeep grand Cherokee V6, I struggle to get 21 miles per gallon on the highway when on the OE tires I could easily get 25. That really adds up to a lot of Extra fuel
The black edition is the same as the regular gatorskins. They're pretty much all I ride, it's not grippy in the wet nor the most comfortable and its rolling resistance is twice that of GP5000's.
