Tires Continental or OEM FORD

I put Continental ExtremeContact on my Miata last Summer and I am all in on those tires. I could not overdrive them.

Amazing tire… I’m on my second set.

I have EB AWD and haven't changed out factory tires. In southern MN live off 3 miles of dirt roads. Winter has kinda nailed us this year. Maverick handled it all like a champ.

Awd on stock conti tires. This is my second winter…

Just point and hit the gas. The awd will figure it out.

I have the hybrid lariat and I got a set of snow tires on steelies. I have driven through slushy freezing rain/snow this winter and it didn't slide around at all.

I’ve lived in northern Colorado my whole driving life and I think the mav handles great. I still have the stock tires on and while I do drive very carefully when it’s snowy I have had almost no slipping/sliding

I have Continental DWS06+ on my Mini Cooper SE w/ roulette wheels. They perform well enough for all seasons.

I like the PureContact LS - it is a good mix of fairly quiet and good handling.

I test drove the R4P on a warm day. The tires were squeaky as heck. The compound is super hard. When I get my R4P, I'm gonna run the stock tires until they wear out.

They are very squirmy tires, a poor choice for a sporty car IMO. I have a set of Michelin PA4 snows that are definitely better dry performers than the DWS. I purchased the DWS once for an Audi A4, but I returned them in less than a week.
