Tires MICHELIN or Continental
Check continental UC and Yokohama GT Max
If you get a decent amount of snow, go for cross climate 2. Road noise is a bit higher than others but they are good in snow. I got caught in a nasty storm and they were great.
If you want to stay with the existing 22" wheel setup, I would talk with your favorite tire store about changing to 305/45R22 for the rears. The tire width will decrease from 12.6 to 12.0 and tire height will increase from 32.2 to 32.8, but you will have more options for all-season tires. Specially, the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 is available in both 285/45R22 and 305/45R22 and is a very good tire.
This year got some Michelin cross climates. It is unbelievable.
I mean I really pushed it for fun and it had 0 issues. Great awd.
Conti VikingContact. Best winter tires I’ve ever had. Highest recommendation.
We have crossclimate2 on our Leaf and they are excellent. Summer driving are a little louder than the oem tires. When our Ariya is ready for tires, they will be a contender.
Cross climates are excellent, had many sets in my accord hybrid, but be prepared for a slight range hit. I haven’t run the pirelli scorpions, but from what other folks say the performance is solid, not cross climate level in the snow, but competent. However, they are quieter overall.
We put cross climates on my wife’s CX-5 here in CO. Like them a lot.
TerrainContacts are fine, I’ve had them and the crosscontacts as well. Mileage was ass with the terrain contacts, but they were pretty quiet and were decent in the mud. Terrible in the snow after 50% treadwear, so be aware of that.
I wouldn’t buy any Continental tire . They last 20,000 miles if you’re lucky
