Anybody familiar with this tire ContiWinterContact TS810?
I'm considering a 265\18 tire and these are a good deal. Also, the tread pattern looks more all season then rugged winter... thoughts?

It's a performance winter tire, so the speed rating will be higher than a traditional winter tire. Less tread wiggle too, so they are better for places with less snow and/or well cared for roads. Great choice if that is your situation.

Agreed. A good winter tire, but with more emphasis on dry road handling compared to other winter tires.

I've had Blizzaks which handle great in the snow but super mushy in the dry. So I went with some all seasons last year, which handled ok in the dry but terrible in the snow. My "snow" driving is primarily suberbs with salted and plowed roads. I dont drive in deep snow on country roads or anything The other tire I'm considering is the Dunlop M3. I see there is the M3D however you dont offer it in the size I'm looking for 245/40/18 and 265/40/18. Opinions and thoughts? Thank you.
