They'll pay for a tow?! And tire replacement within the 1st year if they get fk'd beyond repair? Wow!

Ordered a set of 205/55R16 for the Golf. Thank you so much!

Ice traction is my #1 priority for a Winter tire.

Thanks, yeah looks like its pretty close. I found a recent ConsumerReports on tires, here's the results. Even though the Michelin is rated higher, seems like on a category basis the Conti's actually are equal or ranked higher (Hydroplaning and ride).

Given the rain in Vancouver, I think having better Hydroplane performance is a plus. Might pull the trigger on the Conti's instead then!

The X-Ice Snow, Viking Contact 7 and the WS90 basically trade around the top 3 places in each category, they are all very good winter tires. I ran the X-Ice Snow since my Pirelli PZero Winters got a puncture and have been happy with them in town and up to Whistler/Cypress etc. This season hopefully I will get to take them ice racing and see how they do on a frozen lake.

Hopefully you got a decent deal on them!

I snagged 205/50/16 for our Kia Soul for the Calgary winter... Continenal Viking 7... total with shipping and tax after discount was just a hair over $600

I finally put my order in, full winter setup for Tesla Model Y

Wheels, Conti Viking 7's 235/55/18, and bluetooth TPMS

$1971 all in

A lot cheaper compared to Quattro Tires, and local pricing

Does the Bluetooth TPMS work with the car''s original TPMS system or would it only work with a phone app on the side?

So, is it on trend to get Continental Viking Contact 7s for winters now? :D

Michelin Cross Climate 2s have fallen out of favour. Badhobz fainted.

you lousy heathens!!!!

first of all youre in vancouver. VANCOUVER. HERROW!!! BANGCOUVER!!!!!

we get what? 1 week of snow? and you wackos are doing snow tires!? keeping an extra set of rims and shit and tires in your condos, underneath your kitchen tables!? for what? this one week a year? FUCK THAT. space is already at a premium.

CROSS CLIMATE 2's are always the answer. no hassle, no fuss. Keep them on year-round for your dailies and enjoy my wife's angry eyebrows

if this bitch can do it, im sure your so called SUVs can do it... winter fucking tires my ass, dont make me laugh.

It's basically treated as a regular TPMS system, nothing related to the phone side of things

EDIT: Specifically for Tesla if using OEM Tesla Bluetooth TPMS. I can't speak about other bluetooth sensors.

For Vancouver, unless you drive up to Whister in the winter, I would just run a UHP All Season like the Pilot Sport A/S4 or DWS06+

I was running the older DWS06 back in the winter dump of 2016 and I was going up/down the hills in New West without issues.

Speaking of Conti DWS 06+, they are on sale now at TireRack. Comes to ~20% cheaper than what you'd pay at KalTire.

Purchased some rims/tires for my new truck, but I couldn't find any TPMS that fit, so i messaged them to add some and I can pay for difference. Hopefully this works out, would hate to have to pay to get them mounted and balanced lol.

Wow, is that even with the currency conversion?

Yes, that ~20% is the rough difference after conversion to Canadian dollars. If you are shipping the tires to a mail depot, there is still the depot fee. I also haven't factored in the WA tax. It is just the TR website price converted into Canadian dollars.

For the folks that recently purchased Continental tires, supposedly there's a $100 rebate available according to RFD

Is anyone just appalled at how often cars are still running winters in the summer? I feel like it's 1 in every 30-40 cars. Cars with X-Ice and Blizzaks etc just casually rolling around in 25+ deg weather. Feels like Acura604 should be going around doing tire changes for them.
