I valued snow traction over rolling resistance and got Michelin CrossClimate 2. I’m very happy I did. They are wearing like iron and gripping in all conditions.
I opted for Michelin pilot sport 4S. And I'm so glad I did! Quiet, sticky, hyper responsive, and with a 30k tread wear warranty. So far, I'm really impressed.
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.
Switched to DH SuperSoft Kryptotal Front w/o cushcore. Great setup. Conti DH weighs same as Assegai EXO+. More damped, faster rolling, great grip.
Been running a Xynotal Enduro soft for my rear that's been awesome.
I used Michelin's second tier called "Uniroyal Tiger Paw Ice & Snow" and they were great for winter but poor in wet and dry pavement .
Hit a pothole on the right side and replaced those with another brand (different from the stock Continentals, moved the Continentals to the front... and anything above 35 MPH the traction control light would flash. Anything above 55, I could very distinctly feel the car sliding all over the lane. It was very unsettling. I went back, returned the new ones, and bought the stock Continentals.
