Continental extreme winter contacts coupled with all wheel drive is like using a god mode video game cheat. We put the winter tires on our 9-7x and we leave all terrain tires (Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S) on the suburban and they are fine for winter duty, but when it gets extra cold and the roads are extra slippery there is a huge difference when I drive both of our vehicles back to back. The high performance all seasons on the 9-7x are absolutely useless in the snow.

MrOnBicycle posted:Of course got a flat tire on my rear left. Brand new Goodyears as well. Seems to be a slow leak. Umbrella repair sounds like what I would call a patch-plug. It’s literally a patch on the end of a stem of rubber, and it is the only “proper” tire repair. If they are doing that type of repair and doing it the right way it is 100% trusty.

Long Francesco posted:It's always been a slip the dude 10 bucks kind of repair afaik. 50% seems insane. Nobody's taking the wheel off the vehicle, dismounting the tire from the wheel, repairing it (inspect, clean, drill, buff, glue, patch, seal) then mounting the tire back on the wheel and possibly servicing the tpms and back on the vehicle for $10. I commonly see $25-$30 for a repair and maybe another $10-$20 to re-balance it. I suppose you could get a new tire for double that, depending on the size and quality of the tire.

BraveUlysses posted:shopping for winter wheel/tires... I wouldn’t go with LT’s on anything but heavy full size trucks. They are a rougher ride compared to their passenger counterparts, and I think that would be exaggerated even more so on a lighter small suv.

Preoptopus posted:Cooper Discoverer AT3 LT or AT3 4s. One of the few AT's that offer a 60k treadlife warranty. I’ll always vouch for the discoverers. Granted, I haven’t tried the LT version but I’m on my third set in a row on my Suburban in 265/70-17. I got about 75,000 miles (@30k /year) out of each of the first two sets and I don’t see anything indicating that this third set won’t do the same. Never had a complaint about wear or noise or traction.

stump posted:I’ve done a little more research.... I have used Cooper Disco AT3’s on my Suburban in Michigan for years. I get about 70,000 miles a set, 3 sets in a row. They see mostly highway commuting and rural dirt roads. They are not as good as dedicated snow tires in the snow but they aren’t bad in the snow. I have driven down unplowed rural roads through snow drifts higher than the hood without traction issues. I have a feeling the new “4s” version might be a little softer compound so they supposedly should be a little better in the extra cold temps. I highly recommend this tire.
