Tires Nexen or Continental

Continental CrossContact LX25 all day long. I've ran LTXs and those aforementioned GoodYear Comfort Drives and the Contis excel them in every aspect.

Honda Ridge, had the original roadian htx for first set, they held up great. good in dry and rain, no hydro issues, lasted long time, and decent ride. they can ride a little firm but i also have a Ridge. held air really well.

If you only drive in snow 2 or 3 times a year, I’d go with the continental cross contact, it’s a quiet, comfortable ride and all around great all season tire, also comes standard of some of the premium Toyotas like the Venza.

From experience with Gislaved on a WRX, Blizzak WS90 on another car, Blizzak DMV2 on a large diesel SUV,  and Viking Contact 7s on a “regular SUV” and a parent’s older car, my personal favourite are the continental VC7s for all around winter.

I ride similar conditions. Went from a MaxGrip DHF to a Kryptotal. Really happy with the Conti’s

In my experience, which has been all heavier “horsepower” cars in the 3400-3800lb range, the best all seasons were Continental Extreme Contact DWS06. No chunking, but they do feather at the edges.

Out of all the ones you have listed, I would take the Nexens without a second thought... Great tires, very underrated, and arguably the best warranty in the industry including a 2 year road hazard warranty from the manufacturer.

I've got Continental Viking Contact 7's on my AWD M3 and they're also fantastic.

I have DWS06+ on the Marauder and Michelin PS4's on the Kia. The Conti's are quiet and grippy, but I'm noticing they are cracking in between the tread, and they're not that old. I don't have enough seat time to judge the PS4's on my Kia, plus with them being the OEM tire, they may suck worse that regular, non OEM versions.

The black edition is the same as the regular gatorskins. They're pretty much all I ride, it's not grippy in the wet nor the most comfortable and its rolling resistance is twice that of GP5000's.
