If you want to increase traction you need to get top tier quality such as blizzak ws90 or michelin ice-x
Owner reviews for tires
First driving impressions reveal that the ride is indeed much improved, speed humps are no longer intimidating and it rides much smoother and quieter on your typical city street.
I have Michelin x-ice on my commuter and the thing is a tank in the snow.
I use Uniroyal tiger paw ice from Canadian tire, it’s good so far nice grip
Get the Toyo AT3's. I just got mine after extensive research. Falken wildpeaks are too heavy and BFG KO3's don't perform as well as the Toyo AT3's. You'll get 50k miles out of them. I've had BFG KO3s before and the Toyos are better. I drive year round in my Toyos and they're grippy, quiet and don't lose very much mpg. Had the Micheling Mud and snow tires and they didn't perform nearly as well as the Toyo AT3's.
If you end up choosing real winters then Blizzaks or X-Ice genuinely transform the car as I ran Blizzaks on my old RWD coupe when I lived near Ann Arbor and it went from borderline undriveable to genuinely confident on unplowed roads.
Have quite a bit of feedback on the wheel despite road force balancing and wondering if the “normal” values might help.
Such low profile tires must detract from the ride quality, no? Not to mention higher risk of damage to the rims of you hit a deep pothole at speed...
I am looking at replacing the OEM Pirellis on my '26 R1T with the new Hankook ION HT. I don't trust the Priellis, even with plenty of tread, in the CO mountains.
On my G80 M3, Michelins were lasting about 10-12k miles
On my X5M -- Michelins last 10k miles tops.
