Tires OEM Mazda or Continental

I run continental viking contacts on my NA because it was tough to find many options in the 15\" size. No complaints from me though I don't really drive it too much in the winter cuz the roads get salted around here so I only do it when it's warm enough that day that I can wash the underside off without the water freezing.

I use the Conti DWS06+ on my WRX. If you're going with an all season, that's my top recommendation.

I switched to a higher grade continental all season and they are stellar.

I use Continental Top Contact Winter Premium II (what a name...) and have been very pleased with them.

I bought a set of the Viking 8s this season, I've had them on for about a month now. Over the years I've had Yokohama IceGuards, Blizzak WS90s, Uniroyal Tiger Paw Ice and Snow, Firestone WinterForce and the X Ice Snow. The Conti's have been the best of all. Very very quiet, comparable to an all season, sure footed in a blizzard, did well in heavy ice fog and very good in the wet.

Snow tires have been one of the best decisions I made with my '25 WRX. I decided to go with the Continental Viking Contact 8, and my goodness, are they fantastic. In the Western New York area (Buffalo) we get dumped on regularly, and sometimes it doesn't let up. For years, I used all-seasons, but switching to proper tires for winter has made a difference like no other.

I\u2019ve never had a problem with my Continental DWS06 plus\u2019s. 2 winters coming up on third and haven\u2019t slipped or slid ONCE in western pa winters. Highly recommend.

Continental All Season Contact aici. Fabricate in Romania la Timisoara, trei ani vechime timp in care am parcurs 98.000km cu ele. Da. 98 de mii. Mers 98% in regim de autostrada pe autostrazi europene. Adancimea profilului este de 3.9-4mm acum - asa ca urmeaza schimbul.\u00a0

I have a set of wheels with Continental DWS 06+ on them. They do reasonably well even in snow.

Oh heck no to the Conti's unless you like a super soft sidewall that likes to bubble when it passes by a pothole let alone hits one. I don't get the fascination with them other than the price. I ran them on my old GLI and they were neither good in the rain/cold nor really all the special in the dry.
