Continental 255/35R18XL 94V CON WINTER CONTACT TS 830 P FR

Very impressed with these tires. I presently have 63,000 miles on this set and still have 5/32 in tread still remaining. Wear, road noise, and cost are the issues that I am most interested in.

These almost need 2 rating categories. Overall they look great and are one of the best all terrain tires I've found, and I've tried numerous over the past 20+ years. Price is very competitive and it seems like nearly every size imaginable is offered. I put about 15,000 miles on these, a good portion of it off road, the first 60 days I've had them and they still look practically brand new. I've read a few reviews of people trashing them quickly and that doesn't seem like it's going to be an issue based on what I've seen so far. They do noticeably break in and get quieter IME, more so than I was expecting, but considering how chunky they are, they are still a very quiet tire from the start. My brother ended up getting a set after he tested mine out as well. For off road, I'd pretty much give these 5 stars across the board for an all terrain tire. They're obviously not going to clear mud like a MT tire but for an all around tire, these are great. The tread blocks are large and these just do what they're supposed to. Have no issues running with reduced pressure on stock rims either. For on road, I feel they leave quite a bit on the table. My main complaint is they are really flexible. I got the normal load rated tires, so maybe the heavier ones address this better, but the sidewalls have noticeable lateral flex even at low speeds when turning. It's not enough that I find it to be a safety issue but I could feel it immediately, and this was coming from some inferior Hankook's that were on their last leg. So, with that in consideration, if you drive mostly on a dry road, these are probably not what I would recommend especially if you have high speed limits in your area. If you spend a bunch of time on dirt and snow and want something all around more chunky than an all season tire, I can't think of another tire in the price range I would recommend over these.
