Tires MICHELIN or Continental

last year I went with Continental VikingContact 7 on the new car. They are pretty good for studless

I ran the X-Ice 2s for a number of years and they were great.

I bought the Continental VikingContact 7 for my Rav4 back in 2019, and have been very happy with them. They were also cheaper than the Michelin or Nokian.

Put on Michelin X ice snow on my vw golf for last season in saskatoon and with the snow we got it was so worth it.

Continental Extreme contact sport. Great tire ????????

Continental Extreme Contact Sports; LOVE them.

Pilot sport 4s's. Love em but a bit pricey.

Both are really good tires, but the DWS are definitely giving up some warm weather performance in exchange for some limited cold weather usage (they are not going to replace a full-on snow tire). I live in the south, so that trade-off would not be worth it on my R--I freaking love the wet/dry grip of the PS4s, it is better than the PSS (which was a great tire in its own right).

I personally love the DWS and used them as my "winter tire" in the PNW. I did find them to lack the sidewall support for giving me confidence in the dry, however if you aren't pushing the car hard, they are a fantastic all year tire

Agree on running them at higher pressure to help with squishy feeling. All around performance in inclement weather was pretty good. Mine got noisy earlier than I would have hoped for primarily long distance highway use even with proper alignment, balance and rotation.
