I've been very impressed with the EV's performance in the snow. I'm running 15" Continental ContiWinter Contact snow tires, and use them year-round since I don't put many miles on during the summer months.
Knowing this, and having been uninspired by Michilen X-Ices I tried out Continentals Extreme Winter contacts last year. They have about 80-90% of the traction of the Bridgestones, but their compond wears longer, doesn't feel as squirmy as the softer Bridgestones. They even feel pretty good when its dry out.
Got a set of Continental Extreme Contact DW tires a few months ago.. great tires and highest ranked on Tire Rack.
I replaced my tires with some Continental ExtremeContact DW's in that size today and I'm very happy with them.
For winter I'm running Conti DWS on 17's and they've performed well. In snow my only limitation has been ground clearance.
i ordered some of the continental DWS's...all the reviews have them tops for all season and 50k warranty!
great tires! wonderful in corners, i love them!
If you are talking about the neogens, they stretch amazing. I also have 215/35/19's on an 8.5. I was able to lower more after switching to these.
When the tires are new, or in the first half of their wear, they are almost identical in their performance--both quiet, good wet/dry weather performance and decent in the snow. *But* when I had my bimmer, the Conti's got seemingly harder and louder on the second half of their wear---which is normal for almost any tire with not much tread left.
my conti-extreme got quite loud after they had worn a bit, although they were badly cupped.
