Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE
I’m running blizzaks and they are nice and quiet
I highly recommend and have experience with the Michelin Crossclimate 2. These all-weather tires can be kept on year round and perform nearly as well as dedicated snow tires. They have the “Three Peak Mountain Snowflake Symbol” and are tested to an industry standard for snow and ice driving.
Bridgestone Potenza Sports (highly recommend they’re grippy as all hell,) last 50k kms on the Levorg the Liberty eats them in 25k-30k kms.
Michelin Defenders... I went from aggressive tread, to Falken Wildpeaks to the sensible Michelins. Better ride, better fuel economy.
My last set of Michelins were considerably more comfortable, quieter, grippier, and a lot more confidence inspiring. To top it off, wear wise, they were the longest lasting tyres I've had as well, actually making it good value.
X-Ice Snows are insanely good in the snow and ice
My first set I bought were Michelin cross climate 2s they were pretty expensive I think like $1,000 for the set but I got like 65-70,000 miles out of them and and probably could have gotten more but I got got an unrepairable flat and just replaced them all.
My Outback in Australia came with factory fitted Bridgestone Dueller H/P Sports. Got 72K km (44.7K miles) out of the first set and although I could have probably kept them longer, a "buy 3 get 4th free" sale encouraged me to replace all 4 with the same tyres
Michelin CrossClimates are great tires for who live in this quasi-continental climate that swings between humid summers, icy winters, slushy transitions, and unpredictable snow. Not the most comfortable tire but they’re overall solid
For reference, crappy and expensive Bridgestone Alenzas (summer tires) were put on mine (21 inch)
