Tires Hankook or Nokia
And ever since I bought my first Nokian winter tire is that the only winter tire I use.
Find Nokian akkapellita, thank me later
I’ve ran the Hankook Ventura V12 Evo2 on previous cars and felt they were perfectly serviceable.
I ran these tires for years in my first gen, Florida heat and rain. They were my go to for daily driving. No idea what everyone has against these tires, they never gave me an issue. Gripped or slipped when i wanted them to.
These used to be go-to tires for the off-season. Great value and grip. I also like them better than the PS4s.
The Ventus V12’s came new on my CPO. I can’t compare them to the OEM Michelin’s, but can tell you that they grip very well! ????
I had a set of Dynapro ATMs on my 2nd gen for several years. They had a 3PMSF rating and worked great in the snow while the tread was still deep (traction obviously degraded as they aged).
Caveat: They were the aftermarket versions. I'm unsure if they're the exact same quality as the OEM tires.
Ok, this is the first time doing some snow driving on the Pro4x with the hankook. I must admit the tires handle snow very well! I thought about airing them down but decided not to. The tires felt really good, and I drove with no issues. They do suck in the rain, but in the snow they handle well.
This doesn’t answer your question, but my preowned ‘19 Prestige came with new Hankook Dynapro HP2 Plus mounted from the dealer. They were nice and quiet but didn’t last very long. Not sure exactly how many miles without looking it up, but they didn’t last 15k miles.
I am living in Alaska now, where studded tires are a common thing. After five years in Houghton, 3 winters w all-weather tires and 2 with winter tires and now with studded tires, driving a small-to-mid-sized SUV (VW Tiguan and Jeep Renegade), my verdict is that studded tires are overblown. I have the highest end studded tires- the Finnish ones made in Russia. They offer nothing over my all-weather tires. Nothing at all.
