I’m in the NE, 25 p4x LWB is my daily since July. Better than my old full size pickup and my AWD SUVs in the snow. Probably my favorite to drive ever, maybe neck and neck with my 95 Lincoln town car.
Fwd with snow tires in the winter isnt a bad option. You can't win every battle but itl do for 99% if the driving. I live in northern WI and we drive all over the place with Prius' and snow tires no problem.
I had Winter iPike RS W419? on two different vehicles (a sedan and a CUV). Both vehicles handled great in fowl winter weather, tires were pretty quite for winter tires, they also wore pretty decently.
My Hankook icept IZ3's are killing the New York weather...
Hankook feels very soft, but good, I prefer the SF3 for the feel and equally good is the Conti.
I changed to the new Hankook Ion HT and have noticed no impact on range. They are also much quieter and I don\u2019t feel every last grain of sand on the road.
I recently went from FWD Toyota with good tires too AWD Subaru with good tires and there is no comparison. With my FWD in the snow I would regularly lose traction in corners at very low speed, sub 5 mph going around city streets. I could not start driving on a hill if there was snow or ice.
I'm on Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 2 or something like that. Overall decent but I'm not thrilled with the grip in the rain. I'll be trying something else when these are done.
I had Hankook ION EVO summer tires on my Cupra Tvasvan and exchanged for Continental All season. De Hankooks had only 6K done and looked bad. Even the tire shop was very surprised about the condition. Never had that with any tire before.
I have a 2022 nissan sentra sv only 2,000 miles. came with 4 hankook kinergy gt tires. advertised as all year around. These are one of if not the most dangerous all year tires I have ever driven with. These things are going to end up killing someone. Ive slid/lost traction in winter far more and for far longer with these tires also while going at lower speeds. Yesterday driving home from work I was driving down a road that lead down a hill. the hill had a stop light. so the person infront of me and I stop. mind you we were only going maybe 6mph due to weather conditions. My car stops then proceeds to lose all traction while stationary. I turn my wheel to avoid hitting the person infront of me but low and behold im STILL sliding and im about to slide into oncoming traffic at the absolute last fucking second the tires magically get grip or traction again and stop. Absolute worst tires I have ever had the misfortune of using on the road in winter. No other car ive owned with all season tires has EVER done that.
