I went with the G-Force Comp-2 A/S and paid something like $703 after installation, which also included a road hazard warranty. I found a really good deal and could have gotten some alternatives even cheaper, but the tire was the highest ranked in its category on TireRack. No regrets with the purchase, as these tires significantly outperform the Continental OEMs.
Pros: significantly outperform Continental OEMs
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I use Blizzak DMV2 (suv version of the WS80) on my Santa Fe. Unstoppable in deep snow, but that has mattered maybe twice so far this winter. On ice they have been better than my all seasons, but they have not been incredible.
Pros: unstoppable in deep snow
Cons: not incredible on ice
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
They have crushed walnut shells embedded in the rubber compound for extra grip and I'm very pleased with them.
Pros: extra grip
I am very impressed with the traction on Ice and Snow its amazing.
Pros: amazing ice, snow traction
I found the Bridgestone tire to be alittle more forgiving and last longer. The grip on these tires are both amazing and hard to tell them apart on snow and ice.
Pros: amazing grip on snow, ice
Cons: Michelin liner can crack
I have X-ice 3 on my Tucson and they are great. My brother also has them on his Tucson, he does daily highway drives and he loves them.
Pros: great highway drives
Vehicle:
Hyundai Tucson
I just want to add my 0.02$ on this, I recently bought my first Nokian tires every to put on our new Explorer and I can honestly say in the 3000km's we've driven in the last month that they are hands down the best winter tires I've ever experienced. Time will tell how much performance will be lost as they wear down and how long they will last but to date, color me very impressed. Mine are studded and the ice performance is outstanding fwiw.
Pros: best winter tires ever
Cons: performance loss over time
Vehicle:
Ford Explorer
Mileage: 3000 km
