Tires Continental or WEST LAKE

I went with Continental IceContact XTRM studded Winter Tire

Bit noisy with the studs but they grip so good

I love my continental extreme contact sport 02.

Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires are great in dry & rain.

I’m at 36k with lots of tread left on the stock Continental tires.

We also get the Canada only Conti XTRM here which we like, especially in slushy conditions and we’ve proven it’s been very durable, especially for stud retention even being abused on gravel.

Conti TS8xxx waren bisher alle TOP!

Fahre gerade die 2. Saison Continental WinterContact TS 870, top Reifen auf Schnee, Nässe und trockener Fahrbahn.

If it's a car you often drive and would rarely autox it or so a rare track day the ECS 02 is a good choice better than say a PS4S for dry performance and not getting torn apart.

Toyo EXTENSA A/S II, Michelin Defender 2, Continental TrueContact Tour, etc. These tires are all more or less the same idea, made to be affordable, quiet, efficient and generally average in every way with very marginal, just barely good enough winter performance to get a m+s rating.

I had particularly bad luck with Continentals on a couple of cars. Buddy (who had a similar experience) and I came up with a comparison: take one of those nice Staedler erasers and draaaag it on pavement, you won't go 50' before your knuckles get road rash. I'm a big Michelin fan, never had any trouble with those on any of my cars.
