I eventually chose Turanza EV tires, which cost $1433 installed at Discount Tires in Portland, OR.
The Turanzas did not get off to a good start with me because they were inefficient: I was getting about 310 Wh/m. I called D Tires to discuss them and their sales guy said to drive them for 1k miles to break them in and then re-consider whether I was happy with my purchase.
I followed this advice which turned out to be good advice. At 1K miles, the Wh/m has dropped to about 280 Wh/M. The noise level from the tires has all but disappeared. These guys are quiet. The quality of the ride is just what I like: firm but not harsh.
Yes, very happy with them. Great in dry and wet, and I've gone through a foot of snow with them. So much better than the Goodyear assurance garbage that I had before.
The best winter tires I’ve ever driven with are Bridgestone Blizzak
I have blizzaks 225/60R18 on aftermarket rims. Have been very happy with them in the past. We get lots of snow and live on a farm. Have gone through 2 winters.
Everyone says they're mid but I've yet to lose any sort of traction wet or dry. And I've tried.
have previously tried pilot support 4 but they didn't quite work as well on my car on initial turn in and wore a bit faster but both tyres are amazing in all conditions.
I'm happy with them so far, but they do wear faster.
I ran R11s for a while before switching to slicks. They are about as close in profile as you can get when compared to slicks. My only gripe is that they overheated really quickly, to the point where regular slicks last 2-3x as long.
Probably would not recommend these tires after having them for a couple years on the S60 and about 15 months on our XC70... The XC70 just went in to the tire shop because we had some sidewall damage (accidental curb strike) with only about 11K miles on the tires. They measured tread depth and it seems they were about 70% gone.
I replaced the Michelins on my Lincoln mKX with Goodyear weatheready tires. There is no comparison between the weatherready and the Michelins defender. The weatheready feels like it has a one ply sidewall when compared to the Michelin defender. The old worn out defenders ride better than the new weathereadys, buy the Michelins!
