Tires Continental or Kumho

Getting around in falling snow packed down I was struggling to get going on some slightly hilly residential hills. I do have the Continental PureContact w/EcoPlus tires and they seem better than the OEM Turanzas during my first 2 winters with the car. Otherwise, the Contis are decent in the snow for stopping and cornering and excellent in the rain

I've heard some awesome things about the continental extreme contact tire in snowy conditions.

Most of my touring has been with gatorskins and ultra gatorskins and I've had very few flats. My favorites, however, are the continental Hardshell. I've been using those for the last 2 years without a single flat.

My '13 VR6 Sport w/navi and the 18" wheels (OEM Continentals, not Goodyears) has been great through its first 9K miles. The ride is fine, tires are quiet enough and seem to be wearing OK

GREAT in the snow and they are quiet, comfortable and handle well in all other conditions.

I ran those Kumhos on the Volvo 850 Turbo I had, I liked them a lot. The only downside was being that the car was heavy, you could feel the sidewall flex in hard cornering, then again they are a sport all season and not a true summer tire so I think they fit the bill nicely.

I like my Kumho's 205/45/16's, I have about 15,000 mi. on them, still alot of meat. There 2 yrs. old still looks new. They cost me $125 per tire.

And yet another vote for the Conti DW. I run them on the FR-S and I'm very happy with them.

I had 245/40-17's Kumho MX's on my WRX and they were okay, but didn't have the ultimate grip of the Falkens.

I bought these exact tires for my gli. I don't know what the deal is with them, but they flat out SUCK in the snow. The are by far the worst performing all season tire in terms of snow usage that I've ever run.
