Tires Nexen or Continental

Continental Tires

Personally I prefer Continental a little more for the pricing to performance advantage they offer (admittedly subjective). You do still pay a little for the name but it's not as painful of an upcharge as Michelin and their comparable lines in my size are over $50/tire cheaper. Recently I even lucked out and they're preferable to my prior Defenders.

Pros: better price/performance, preferable to prior tires

The Continental Viking Contact 7 is the best winter tire I've ever driven on and the sneak peak I've had at the Viking Contact 8 looks like they've made it even better.

I like how little noise they make, their performance on both snow and ice, and how the treads don't fold over on one another.

Pros: little noise, good performance

For posterity, I've been running 235/45/18 Conti DWS06+ w/ no issues on the stock 18x7.5 ET45 Canyons lowered on Golf R front & Golf R Variant rear springs w/ Koni SA dampers for a little over a year: I think it's just about the perfect amount of sidewall myself, but would prefer another half inch of wheel width for flushness & sidewall contour.

Pros: no issues, perfect sidewall amount
Cons: prefers wider wheel

I have non studded Conti Viking and it's perfect. It can also be a handful to drive, It moves under throttle, slides left and right. To me, this is not a drawback, it makes it fun. But, it's 5 in the morning, going to work half asleep, and you have a hard time accelerating at green lights getting passed by Yaris's, it can suck. I have a 15 min commute it's OK, wouldn't spend my day in it. On back roads it's a charm. I would not let my mother drive it in the snow, you have to be on your A game.

Pros: perfect performance, fun to drive
Cons: difficult acceleration, can be a handful
Vehicle: Toyota

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.

Pros: affordable, quiet, efficient
Cons: marginal winter performance

These tires are terrible! I bought some for my 2022 hyundai. Why didn't buy them they came on it but I had to pay for two . They don't last at all they're really nice at first but they do not hold up 30,000 miles and I'm having to replace tires.

Pros: nice at first
Cons: do not hold up
Vehicle: Hyundai
Mileage: 48280 km
