For those wondering, the All-Season tires on the white car used in this test were brand new Continental ContiProContact

[pedrorosado]

Hahaha I legit thought the black car was going to rear end the white one during that first break test. You got me!

[caedom]

Hey Continental, the next tires I buy will be Continental. Thanks for sponsoring my favorite car reviewers. Did you know that one of these guys have driven on the Nurburgring... twice? I’ll give you a hint. His name isn’t Geese, Savage.

[IvanSensei]

Good job guys! In EU most cars use winter tyres during winter, it's a huge difference to all season tyres or even summer tyres. Been using Continental for last 7-8 years on my car and they are exceptional!!! TS860 is amazing!

[JaZoN_XD]

I'm actually surprised at how well the all-seasons performed, in many other tests, the difference is even larger lo. I think Continental wanted to also flex their all-season capabilities :p

[marcoulibarri]

Thanks straight pipes for clarifying the need for winter tires vs 3 season. I learned something new today.

[qiuanmorris]

Do you like driving safe? Do you like when your car stops while you hit the brakes? Do you enjoy plowing through pedestrians? Don’t cheap out on tires. Winter tires are a must

“I regret getting winter tires for my car”
says literally no one ever.

[markfeathers]

2010 Subaru Impreza owner here in NW Montana. The factory all seasons were pretty good in the winter here (they do a decent job of plowing around town). Subsequent all season tires I bought were ass though. This year I got some Michelin X-ICE3 tires and it's insane how much better they feel. Driving in heavy snow when it's down is flat out fun. I even showed a friend who was all about all-seasons the start and stop with these tires and he was sold. Nice video.

Super happy for you guys with the sponsorship. I’ve been running snow tires in eastern Ontario since 2002 and currently rocking the Continentals!!!

[vulander]

Never used winter tyres. Not because im neglectful. Just because i live in australia and winter goes as as low as 10 degrees Celsius. I havent even seen snow in my life

[ceeceex]

On Michelin Pilot A/S 3 for 3 seasons, Continental ExtremeWinterContact from Nov to Mar currently. Been on this sort of rotation since 2004 on a 225hp RWD coupé, even though I'm only in Greater Vancouver region. Never gotten stuck once, not even in mountainous Burnaby.
Great channel, guys. Love the humour. Love the CG effects.

[tykszeto]

I learned my lesson years ago on all season tires, couldn't stop going down a hill and nailed the truck in front of me. Just some bumper repair, dent in my wallet and ego dinged too. From then, winter tires always!

[botch]

Great video, guys! Dad always had me put on winter tires on my first 2 cars (70 Maverick, and 71 Rustang, in South Dakota). Had All-Seasons on my first Saab, but they sucked. Since then, I've been able to afford a winter vehicle (old Tacoma) that always had true snow tires on it, and kept the summer stickies on my subsequent Saabs, and now my 2018 Audi convertible (my very first NEW car, at age 58!), She stays in the garage for 4 months. Oh, and you two helped me decide on the Audi after 33 years of Saaboholic bliss.

[crashbomber]

snow driving in snow tires with awd is one of lifes greatest pleasures.

[graeme_sr]

Great work with the video and congrats on the sponsorship! So happy to see more education around the use of Winter tires, too many Canadians try to drive without them in the Winter and it creates hazards and slowdowns for everyone else on the road and first responders.

[NoahGoldstein]

I got winters after almost getting stuck in my '03 Corolla 5spd. Since then, I now have a Fiesta ST that NEEDS winters. Best choice I've made for tires!
