Tires Continental or Nokia

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

Not sure if they exist for your size but I am using Nokian Outposts E-rated and absolutely love them. Good performance in all conditions, including rain and snow, no tire noise even above 80 mph and good off-road performance.

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.

I also have GOOD tires (Nokian Norseman studless ) and chains I can put on(Thule Easy-fit )

Laughs in Nokian winter tires ????

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.

winter tires are absolutely 100% worth it. my personal recommendations are studded nokian hakkapelita r2s, drove on them without abs or traction control in an icy -40 alberta winter without worry.

I decided to get some Nokian Hakkapeliittas for my 03 wrx when I bought it, and I\u2019ve never once regretted that decision. I have to purposely fight to lose traction in any snow when I want to have fun.

I’ve always ran the Conti DWS06 all seasons, probably 8 different sets of them on numerous types of vehicles. I love the tires when they are new (dry, wet and snow) until about 1/3 thread… then they become noisy imo.

Tires are low quality , made in Russia where no natural rubber found to make. Drove 1 day after replacement on unpaved rd . Tires are bubbled. Had to replace
