Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE
I've got the CrossClimates on my 2016. A bit noisy, but great ride, handling, and traction in wet and snow
Crossclimate 2 from Michelin. First hand experience in the Swiss Alps in the middle of a snow storm. They did not disappoint.
Michelin makes a good all-weather tire called the CrossClimate2. I have them on my Kia Niro and have been quite happy with them. Great dry and wet performance, and are fine in light snow.
The tire shop let me switch to 17" Michelin CrossClimate 2s. They make a soft noise, almost like the sound of a wave going out on a pebble beach, but it's not annoying - they're just not as quiet as the Pirellis, which where literally astonishing. Best of all the Michelins are firm but comfortable around town, and completely smooth at highway speeds; it's like they're rolling on glass bearings.
I’ve been happy with the Michelin Cross Climate 2s.
These are exactly what I'm running on my Polestar. They're a bit louder than the stock Michelins and are a little less efficient but handle great and are outstanding in the snow.
The Bridgestone is going to be faster. The nankang would probably wear a little bit better call and is more heat tolerant. But not as fast when cold, and also heavier. If you were happy with the Bridgestone I would have to say probably stay there
However I replaced my S4 tires with PS4S.
Oh and this in on new Bridgestone Weatherpeaks - I swapped out the stock trash - poor ratings even in rain - immediately.
My last set of Bridgestone Potenza tires lasted maybe 15k miles, but we’re totally bald on the inside by the 10k mark or less. Very dodgy in the rain to drive.
