Any recommendations between Continental Vikingcontact 7 vs Wintercontact SI Plus? About a ~70/tire price difference right now, VC7 is more expensive because it's newer I think.
Or any other recommendations in the ~$250/tire range? 245/60/18s, SUV, 90% city driving and no planned interior trips in the winter. I've had pirelli Winter Ice Zero's and X-Ice 3's before, they were good enough but nothing mind blowing.
I run the VC7 on my GTI, pretty good traction when leaving my unplowed street area, and the ride and noise aren't terrible. However, at that price difference, I'd just get the SIP. Your use case can't justify balling out. The price for SIP probably comes from being CT exclusive.
Well, last night on the way home it was 7°c and I could see my breath. So I think I’ll swap my winters on now (I don’t have all seasons, just track tires and winters).
Thinking about it, thanksgiving weekend is always the time I swap over cuz thanksgiving Monday morning we’ll do a cruise up to Whistler and that needs not summers
I have a brand new set of Goodyear Winter Command tires mounted on rims for my Colorado sitting in my garage, no idea if they're any good.
I've been driving 30 years and have never used winter tires, my driveway is just too steep at this house, even with 4 wheel drive I can't get up it so bit the bullet last year but never used them.
Probably put them on end of the month.

A little while ago I was asking about the Michelin Cross Climate 2 and found the above about it. The first is a comparison test and the second is an explanation of the technology behind it. Looks really promising and I might take the leap next spring so my wife only has 1 set of wheels to curb.
Needed a set of tires for the GF's Integra, and since most of my garage space is taken up by my own parts & projects, I decided to look into "All Weather" tires (snowflake rated) so I do not have to have two sets for the car.
I remember seeing these Kumho's around and decided to give them a try. Right when I was about to purchase new @ $500 CAD, I was able to find a slightly used 2020 prod. date set for $250 !
Anyone try these before? She avoids driving in the snow, but it is nice knowing she can handle some unexpected snowfall. So far, they have been great at syphoning rain out during our crazy downpour the past couple weeks.

All weather tires are great! The only time I've driven on these was on a Modo FRS that I took on a cruise - lots of traction control when driving hard (a LOT more than the Chinese Champiro HP tires they have on some FR-S)
Has anyone ever tried MOMO TIRES
NORTH POLE W-2 winter tires?
Sounds like it's one step above Chinese brands but hovering below the mid tier brands.

I’ve been running with the Michelin Pilot Alpin 4s on the new Allroad and I have to say it’s very stiff sidewall for a winter tire! Compared to the ContiSportContact 6s that came with the car, the Michelin rides harsher at the same pressures, even at 18 inches vs the 19 inch Continental tires. Granted I only had the Contis on for a few days before switching to winter tires. Grip on the PA4 has been good, and it handles puddles quite well. How they do in snow remains to be seen.

Apologize for the newbie questions here, I've always just mounted winter tires on existing OEM wheels, never bothered attempting to get steelies or secondary wheels before.
I was in the same boat Mike and basically held out until I found the OEM wheels I posted above..it’s just a waiting game really
I backed out of a set of used aftermarket rims and winter tires when these ones popped up. For the price difference I was more than willing to grab nice OEM rims. are there any other manufacturers that use your bolt pattern?

I bought one of these to replace my donut spare with a full size. I’m not sure if there’s a steel wheel that fits the bigger brakes, rumor is that it’s the OEM Tiguan steelies that fit.
