Additionally, the tire uses a next-generation compound that features a water-loving hydrophilic coating and microscopic bite particles. These are some of the best winter tires you can get ...

This is the third generation of Continental's winter-ready studdable tire. This one gets special new groove patterns that lead water and slush away from the contact patch for minimizing ...

The DM-V2 excels on ice as well as in the wet, with wide circumferential and lateral voids to channel water and slushy snow ...
