Tires Goodyear or Nokia
I just recently switched to Nokian Wrg5 and so far I'm loving these on my 3.6 Outback. These seem to be a bit more winter focused.
We put Nokian Hakkas (I can’t spell the full name lol) on my wife’s Escape and they are the best mod we ever gave it. I swear by them now.
Wife and I have a set of Good Year Assurance all weathers on our Jeep Compass, wife's daily driver. Best tires I/we have ever had on a vehicle, the traction is crazy good on snow and ice in Calgary, no issues what so ever heading out west of the city.
Proper all weather tires like the Nokian WRG4 are great in winter. I had them on my Lancer and highly recommend them!
I ride on Nokian outpost nat. I’ve been in everything you can think of weather wise. They are better than 3 season tires but there is no true replacement for a pure winter tire.
I have had all-weathers on 3 vehicles. A Nokian that I don't recall the model of, on my RAV4. Had the tires on for about 5 years before I sold it.
I've had a few sets of Nokian all weathers on different vehicles. They're excellent. The all weathers honestly don't give up much and are way more like a regular tire on dry pavement.
My car has the Goodyear assurance max now, a 2016 Q5. Tread is already at 6/32 after a few years.
I have two sets of these on a pair of 2013,2015 Ford Fusions. 225-50-17.
One tire got a sidewall bubble at a couple months old. Walmart refused to help because I didn't have them install the tires but I suspect they would have come up with other reasons like road hazard to avoid a warranty claim. I was able to talk to Goodyear and have one of their company stores inspect. The cause was a crack at the inner liner splice and air migration into the carcass. They refunded me my purchase price.
A tire on my other car had the same problem in almost the exact same spot also less than a year old. Same result.
Tires are currently 2-3 years old and they have weathering and sidewall cracking. (Parked outside in Michigan). Multiple tires are developing something that looks like a heat ring to varying degrees.
I have had two Goodyear Eagle LS-2 tires literally tear themselves apart within a year of buying them.
