I was hoping they would bring their IceContact3 to N/A. As that tire performed quite well in reviews.

I have the vikingcontact 7 and they were excellent last winter. Great for maneuvering around the morons on shaganppi and 14th st.
I had the hakka 9 studded on my 2015 X5 and of all the winter tires I've had, hands down, they were the best I've used, including R3.
I am going the other way from hakka 9 to r3. Loved the studs but the last few winters have been mild. Maybe I follow what maxboost is doing and get the ws90.
I was pleasantly surprised! I‘d drive in from Water Valley every day and back again on unplowed backroads, compact snow and all kinds of shit without issue. Don’t get me wrong though... On the real icy stuff my winter took it up a notch, but they were totally manageable and wicked in snow!
I'll rush out to buy anything Continental right after I get my next set of consumer (non PSS or Cup Sport) Michelin tires so I can report back. Stay tuned for my results when Hell freezes over.
In the meantime, it's Blizzaks for eternity.
As long as Calgary drivers actually purchase WINTER tires, I guess I'm still for it - even if Continental... It hurts me to say that!
You just need more engine to cover up the tire noise :rofl:
I love my duratracs year round, really liked them on my jeep too. Never really left me wanting for more tire except on sheer ice.
I guess if you really wanted to you could run studded duratracs in the winter and have another non studded set for summer.
See that is funny because mine are not noisy in the least! I suspect many people do not realize they have maybe worn theirs a little lumpy over time and then any aggressive tire is going to get noisy, but new they should not be a noisy tire at all. I guess though driving a Suburban is like a giant speaker box behind you reflecting noise everywhere! lol!
I really have never noticed any noise on either my wrangler or Sierra with duratracs.
P’s on the Wrangler, C’s on my truck.
