Tires Continental or Goodyear

Dedicated snow tires are not required, but they do help. That being said, we have 3-peak *all-season* tires on our vehicles (Goodyear WeatherReady) and find they do a decent job and do better than regular all-season tires.

I use Continental Top Contact Winter Premium II (what a name...) and have been very pleased with them.

I bought a set of the Viking 8s this season, I've had them on for about a month now. Over the years I've had Yokohama IceGuards, Blizzak WS90s, Uniroyal Tiger Paw Ice and Snow, Firestone WinterForce and the X Ice Snow. The Conti's have been the best of all. Very very quiet, comparable to an all season, sure footed in a blizzard, did well in heavy ice fog and very good in the wet.

When I changed my Trofeo Rs to Goodyear Supercar 3R’s - that also saved about $1300 and they last 4K miles longer.

Snow tires have been one of the best decisions I made with my '25 WRX. I decided to go with the Continental Viking Contact 8, and my goodness, are they fantastic. In the Western New York area (Buffalo) we get dumped on regularly, and sometimes it doesn't let up. For years, I used all-seasons, but switching to proper tires for winter has made a difference like no other.

I\u2019ve never had a problem with my Continental DWS06 plus\u2019s. 2 winters coming up on third and haven\u2019t slipped or slid ONCE in western pa winters. Highly recommend.

For context I’ve got them on a 2012 ford focus FWD, and they’ve absolutely blown my mind with how good they are in the snow. Great tires Goodyear

Habe die Goodyear UG Perf 3 auf einem BMW 5er Touring in 245/45/18. Unauffälliger Reifen bisher (eine Saison). Gehe jetzt nicht ans Limit auf Schnee u Eis und habe Allrad. Sind aber gottlos teuer geworden auch…

Those are junk . Had a set of them . They wore quicker then summer tire and the side wall is soft af

I had these tires before and they do wear fast. If you run them in the 30s, they will flat spot easy and wear the shoulders. I'd not recommend these tires.
