I also live in the Twin Cities and switched from the stock hankooks to BFG KO2s. Huge difference in the snow. I almost never had to switch into 4wd. Definitely would recommend them for around here.
In winter weather (New England) I’ve had good luck with BFG KO2
Wow, I only got 30k on my Firestones and they were worn down! I went with BF Goodrich Advantage T/A just because they were on sale. So far so good.
Honestly these are a pretty decent tire in snow and ice having driven the RAV in the snow storm we just got in Mass.
we've been using Dunlop for our vios.
Dude the stock dunlop's can't even handle muddy roads. I live down a really long one and turning out of my driveway onto the road always made the front tires spin and the diff lock up weird.
Changed over to as3+'s and it's never been better.
Stock dunlops...terrible in snow.
Winter tires...beast mode!
It's a night and day difference.
I loved the Sottozero 3's on my previous STi. I got a set of Dunlop WinterMaxx on my R now (got them on sale from TireRack when I got winter wheels) and while they're fine and even good in the snow, they are horrific on wet pavement.
About 2 years ago I had 4 Dunlop Conquest Touring tires installed on my 2015 Passat. About 5 months ago, less than 15,000 miles we noticed a groaning sound coming from the passenger side rear. I had all 4 tires rotated and now the noise is coming from the passenger side front. This was more annoying than having the groaning noise come from the rear so we had them rotated back again. The \"dealer\" said it was due to cupping and that's common with Dunlop.
BFGs tend to weathercheck, crack, and cup before at about 70% of wear.
