Tires Continental or GENERAL TIRE

Conti Viking 7 have been best of the three in my opinion. Excllent in winter and I am even running 19 inch. I took my car out for a Sept warm wknd (was forced to) and even in those conditions I had no idea I was rolling on winters. If I had done that in my Blizzaks, you would have felt the softness. Based on their feel and winter performance, I won’t be looking at other winter tires again.

I’ve have the grabber ATX and I really like those on my old 79 f150 also had them on a 15 f250.

I had the AT2s on my last truck for years and I love those tires. They're snowflake rated so obviously they did good in the snow. I've had them in deep mud, and while no mud tire, they did petty darn good. Plus they lasted forever, like 60ish k miles.

All conditions were great EXCEPT wet root. So I'm also in the 'waiting for enduro super soft' camp.

Compared to Maxxis Assegai(grip) + DHR(terra) both exo+:

\* Conti feel more stable than exo+ but not worlds apart

\* Conti roll significantly faster (prob mainly due to Assegai being very slow)

\* Assegai maxxgrip has WAY more 'chemical' grip vs KR-F enduro soft. (Super soft is roughly the same)

\* Conti have more stability in side knobs and more 'physical' grip in loam

\* KR-R as better breaking traction IMO but is also heavier.

General makes good tires.

I would recommend a different front if that's your goal - maybe the Vittoria Barzo or the Continental Cross-King. They're both handling-oriented tires rather than pure speed, but don't really give up a lot on the speed front... like the Rekon does.

Conti tires are great on cars. I always get their all-season Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+ for my suv's because they are rated like a 10 on rain and even an 8 in the snow, which is amazing for an all season that's not dedicated to snow. Plus they have a 70k mile warranty.

Some of the best tires I ever ran were a set or Conti Sport Attack's

Eu am continental winter contact, mi se par ok

Same thing happened to me with conti gp5000 after around a year. I replaced, but will move on to different brand and tire if it happens again in such a short period of time
