Tires Falken or Kumho
I live in the snow belt in Canada and made it home during the storm of the decade without issue. They’re not a dedicated snow tire by any means; but I’ve been pleased with their performance overall.
AT’s, and specifically a narrower width (245/70R17) AT3W, has performed very well for me. I have had four sets on two vehicles totaling 260,000 miles and just recently replaced them again on my Tacoma after 60,000 miles.
Love them. Had them for about 3 years in NJ and they handle so much better than KO2's in the snow.
They do great in snow, I live in Montana and haven’t had any problems. However, I can’t say any non-designated winter tire is great on ice. Snow is no problem though for the AT3W’s
I bought a set of those for my MS about a year ago. I ate thru the rears in 6 months. If I recall those have no tread wear warranty. The set I have now are Azensis FK460. Much better tires with 50k tread wear warranty.
Take a look at the kumho ecsta pa51. I got a set this summer and am happy with them. Plus they were very affordable.
I have Falkens on my MSP. Very smooth, quiet and good performance so far. Decent price too.
I am running FK510s on mine. Good price for what they are. Reasonably quiet and they do well in the rain. I get around 18k miles on them but the roads I drive on are pretty rough (mostly concrete).
Mine is studded Kumho Wintercraft. It's actually quite good in the snow and ice, soft. But if we take the snow and ice out of the picture it's not that great, probably cause of studs.
I had falkens for about 18 months and hated them in the snow. The Falkens did better the more snow they had to grip onto, but when we would get less than an inch it was like driving on slicks.
