Tires Falken or Continental

I specifically asked for the Continental VikingContact 8 on steel rims as the Contis have shown to be almost identical as the Nokian on snow and ice, but much better on cold dry roads and in rain. They also have better fuel economy and wear.

I lived in Chicago and had a summer/all season rotation on my tuned M240i, RWD. Never had any issues on my Continental DWS06 in winter once the roads were treated. They handled snow fine as any RWD, 400hp car should.

Better tires. The Telly is actually pretty capable off-road on mild trails/loose terrain/snow/etc. with the right tires. The standard Michelin Primacys won't cut it though. I put some Falken Wildpeak AT Trail tires and now this thing handles this stuff better than my '21 Bronco did. (2024 EX AWD).

I went with Falken all season light offroad and they make the car look awesome and feels good in the city.

I did upgrade the tires to a quieter Continentals, from the standard issue goodyear. Its quiet, smooth, comfortable on the 4800 mile trip I took.

I've run the DWS06 all seasons in winter with no problems.

I run continental viking contact 7s. love em.

Falken makes pretty good rain friendly quality tires

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.

I put Falken Ziex (65k) on a Honda Civic 10th Gen. didn’t even make it to 40k. Never again. Rotated every oil change (5k). I know the heat had something to do with it (Florida) but the streets here are smooth as butter.
