For winter tires the ice-x by Michelin are fantastic. But I was not impressed with the stock tires especially in heavy rain.
I've had my Bridgestone Weatherpeaks for several months now...absolutely love them.
Great ride, very quiet, great wet and dry performance.
Just had our first real dump (and a nasty one at that) of snow with a good layer of ice underneath (it rained for two days prior to the snow). Ive been driving around for the last couple days thoroughly impressed with the snow and ice performance of these tires. I had guys ahead of me slipping and sliding almost right through a 4 way stop and my Seltos didn't even kick on the ABS when I came up to it. Any slippage in corners and on acceleration seemed very gradual and easily controllable. They have been very confidence inspiring in the crap weather we have just had...I would highly recommend them.
Snow grip wise, I'd say a Nokian or even Kleber has very good winter tires.
So far, I have to say I love them! They are WAY quieter than the OEM Khumo's I pulled off my Seltos and the ride is excellent with them.
Getting 41mpg with a little help from K&N air filter.
I've had the Weatherpeak tires for a month now and I love them, they are much quieter than the factory Khumo's that came with my Seltos and they handle very well. Can't wait to play with them in the snow and our fun Saskatchewan winter...
Based on my experience with Seltos’ 1.4 T-GDI one thing I have noticed is that they are very sensitive to throttle inputs. Mileage varies drastically if you start driving aggressively compared to NA engines. Difference in mileage in City & on Highways can be night and day simply because of sensitivity to throttle inputs. Our Seltos gives 8-10 kmpl in City, and it gives 18-19 kmpl @ 80 kmph in 6th gear.
Garage told me the next day I need a new alternator.
The Stinger windshields are notorious for picking up chips. I got 3 major chips in the first 5k miles compared to 1 in 100k+ miles of driving my other vehicles in my urban area where it doesn't snow.
Just bought Icons last week. The shimmy they do on the driver side is difficult to put up with.
