Tires MICHELIN or Barum
For snow, winter tires are much more affective than AWD on all season. Even the cheapest set of winter tires will outperform summer/all season
Cross Clikate 2. They are comfy and quieter than the Michelin Defenders and Primacy.
I use the Michelin climate 2s. I love them
I did get a new set of Michelin tires last year. I couldn’t stand the stock Pirelli.
I have Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons and they're a great tire.
Michelin AS4 is the best all season tire money can buy. The Michelins are worth the premium IMO. The cost difference isn’t that big when you spread it out over the expected lifespan of the tire.
I recently went with Pilot Sport 4 AS and they are better, id say impressively GREAT. From my experience, the PS4 AS handle noticeably better in dry hot weather. Almost so well i wouldnt mind leaving them on year round. Where the DWS06+ fell short was where the PS4 surprised me, dry weather. In the wet, they were similar for me and i didnt notice a big difference. I was doing timed trial runs and my times were always within about 1 second of each other on both sets on a road ive been driving for years. Imo, best of the two is the PS4 AS, but youre paying more for marginally better tire, and thats also subjective.
I went to Michelin Cross Climate 2 on our SUV and love not having to change them seasonally. They are great tires! I wish my other vehicle didn't have newer tires on it! Never again will I be swapping tires when there's a great year round alternative.
CC2 has better grip all around especially in snow, it just might be more noisy and not last as long.
After switch to Defender 2 tires, I lost an instant 20% in efficiency - consistently !!!
