I always get Continental's "control contact sport SRS+" for my 1st gen. Not the most expensive, but I wouldn't describe it as shoestring either.
I’d go with the Blizzaks. I’ve also driven them on a CX-5 but went with Continental VikingContact 7 on my CX-5 and they’re incredible in every aspect.
Personally I went with the Continental Pure Contact LS tires. You do take a hit on efficiency, but it's much better in the rain and snow and wears much better as well. I have 25k miles on mine now and they look like they will last at least another 75k miles.
That is exactly what I did. I am running 18x8.5 +45 with 235/45/18 Conti DWS06. Very happy with my decision.
I love my Contact Spike 240's in 38mm. On smooth tarmac you can hear a small ticking noise but nothing obnoxious. Rolling resistance is fine. Grip is fantastic as long as the spikes can find something hard to bite into.
A couple weeks ago I attended the endurance race and Continental was giving out used tires, so maybe.
You can't go wrong with the Continental Kryptotal Fr/Re combo. I've tried DHF/Aggressor, Assegai/Aggressor, Dissector/Aggressor, DHF/DHR2 and Assegai/DHR2 and the Kryptotals are by far my favorite combo. They offer amazing traction with inexplicably low rolling resistance.
Continentals are probably the best of the bunch but also most expensive - have heard good things about all 4 on sedans.
Long-time fan of Conti 4000's. Discovered the Conti 5000's were too tight to fit my previous wheelset, Mavic Ksyrium Elite UST.
Currently, pairing Pirelli PZero Velo 4S tubeless with HED Belgium Plus wheels. The Conti 5000's do fit and run well with the HED wheels.
This weekend I had to pay tire discounters to remove the foam from all 4 of my tires because it was coming off and causing unbalanced tires. These tires aren’t good.
