Tires Continental or WEST LAKE

I’ve had both Blizzaks and Continental Vikingcontact on our vans. Both have been great. The Continentals are a little quieter on bare pavement, which is why I got them.

i just got a set for a hundred bucks off marketplace. Continental brand 225/60/R17 and theyre pretty damn good.

Our other car is a 2015 mazda 3 with continental vikings. No complaints there as well.

First driving impressions reveal that the ride is indeed much improved, speed humps are no longer intimidating and it rides much smoother and quieter on your typical city street.

People said these tires handle like garbage. I was skeptical—and yeah, they’re a bit squishy at first—but honestly, unless you’re trying to turn your grocery run into a Formula 1 race, they’re actually decent. The family has stopped complaining, which is a miracle; these tires actually soften the blow of our awful roads. Range is about the same, but the noise? Night and day. Old Contis were basically a marching band on wheels; now it’s quiet enough to enjoy the ride without wanting earplugs.

They have been fantastic, drove through huge rain storms and never felt unsafe once

Just got these to replace my OEM contis that lasted 40k miles. So far I’m loving the SRS+.

I’ve used Continental (very good), Hankook (good), Goodyear (good - worse handling in summer than Conti but excellent in winter, higher wear).

Continental Gatorskins will prevent flats, but they are the least fun tires to ride. Rolling resistance is terrible.

My experience with Continental Tire...I loved them. My wife loved them. Right up to the point that the second set tried to do us in. Driving home to the SF Bay Area from So. Cal on a hot summer day. Right rear tire fails suddenly and catastrophically with 2/3rds of the tread separating from the carcass.
