Michelin pilot all season 4s vs Continental Extreme contact DWS

Understandable, but the science does strongly suggest narrow is better in snow. With that being said, I can't afford both tires + wheels right now, so will probably be sticking with the stock 8.5's sadly for a while and get new tires

I can appreciate that for sure. All else equal, narrower probably is better. Regardless, tires are certainly the priority. I had to replace mine before driving to Ohio last month for the same reason. And it DID snow while I was there. Stock Pirellis would have been all but impossible.

I’m a Continental guy and the DWS06+ is an awesome all-season tire. Had them on my last 4 cars I feel they are the best value among AS UHP tires.

Yeah I think my plan is to get better tires for the stock wheels, then sometime down the line get a wider set up just for summer time
