I’ve left extreme contact sport tires on my car down to about 25F a few times. No flat spots. I’ve driven in 33-35F and they definitely had way less grip, but I was careful and it was fine.
Pros: no flat spots
Cons: less grip in cold
My own choice is Cooper, not the cheapest, but it definitely lasted longer than any of my Goodyear or Firestone tires I had in the past.
Pros: lasted longer
Cons: not the cheapest
I just got some pirelli p zeros and they stick like glue
Pros: stick like glue
My Wrangler came with Destination M/Ts. They are awesome tires. I have 3 new ones sitting in my garage because I could not get the size I wanted when I lifted the Jeep. Went with Toyos. The Destinations are on my off-road trailer too and nothing wrong with them.
Pros: awesome tires
Vehicle:
Jeep Wrangler
Just put on 265/65/18 SL wildpeak at4w on an otherwise stock 2012 GX and can confirm that they will fit with no rubbing. Compared to the Michelin latitudes that were on before, the feel on the road is noticeably better, i.e. more plush but also more planted... if that makes sense. Road noise is minimal difference in my mind but I have a skybox on top so maybe I'm just used to it. Being in pnw, wet traction is a must and these should do the trick.
Pros: more plush, more planted
Cons: minimal road noise
Vehicle:
Lexus GX
Lots of people have mentioned gp5k, which are very fast, but continental also sells "all seasons" tires which are kind of best of both worlds between gp5k and gatorskin. Not quite as fast as 5k, not quite as much protection as gatorskin, but very close on both counts.
Pros: best of both worlds
Cons: not quite as fast
Pirelli Cinturato Velo or Hutchinson Challenger TLR. Both are faster, tougher and grippier than Gatorskins.
Pros: faster, tougher, grippier
My experience with the plain Q5 is that that are super sensitive to pressure, 30 cold rear was tearing, 31 was minimal, and 32 was pretty clean with smooth throttle on and pretty rough pavement.
Pros: smooth throttle on pavement
Cons: super sensitive to pressure
Thoughts on CrossClimate2 for San Francisco/CA climate? Considering these for 2020 Kia Niro EV to replace current OEM Michelin Primacy MXV4, which we have found to be terribly un-grippy in rain.
Cons: un-grippy in rain
Vehicle:
