I had my first snow drive on my brand new continental extreme contact dws06 and all I can say is I had higher hopes.
We got about 5-8” in Maryland. I drove home on about 3-4” on untouched roads. My commute started in slush, they were great. The highway had a hard packed inch or so, they were ok. The highway had too many wrecks and people driving like pansies so I hopped off for backroads...they were untouched, had 2-4 inches on them, and I almost got stuck multiple times, even giving myself as much momentum as possible before uphill sections. At one point I had to back down the hill and restart. Many times I had to turn traction control off to be able to spin a little more than the car wanted me to.
I typically just call out of work in the snow so it isn’t a huge deal, and our roads are usually cleared fast around here, but I was pretty disappointed in how they drove in the snow at maximum tread depth (not even 1k miles on them yet).
