Tires MICHELIN or Continental

I usually give Nokians the edge, but Michelin X Ice purchased and installed at Costco is probably the easiest overall ownership experience, especially if you have to warranty anything.

Continental DSW06 and never look back good in the summer amazing in the snow

We have Michelin X ice, love them.

Seem to have good tread wear and performance

I put a set of Michelin WeatherGuards on our Smart AWD SUV before last winter. The car drove great down steep icy hills when the roads were closed down.

Vikingcontact 7 — VERY good in snow and ice. Good in dry and wet.

I personally have a set of the x ice snow and cannot complain. I also like how long lasting they are. They are one of the only winter tires with a tread wear warranty (60,000km).

I use the Michelin Ice-X not a single problem, they are very quiet

We get snow here (and it’s a bit hilly) so I went with the Michelin CrossClimate 2’s. They’ve been great for two seasons so far. My only gripe is how light the steering feels, but the car is still a joy to drive.

I had the PureContact LS before these. The PureContacts were slightly quieter, and also slightly smoother on roads, and because I didn't take the Extremes to the extreme, I can't say if/how much better they are at handling, but on paper they should be.

I would have stuck with the PureContacts, but I had a very unfortunate puncture that was unserviceable, and they don't make them anymore.

I put a driveway stone through a continental tire. Never again. They have lost something. Used to be a good tire. Not any more.
