Get you a set of Continental Viking Grip tires. Those things are freaking magic.
Consider getting a good set of all-season tires. I have a 2wd Honda Civic that does great in snow because it has FWD and great tires. Michelin Cross-Climate are what I have and are one of the best.
DWS06 is a really good tire and comes in a couple diff tread compounds so you can choose less performance for longer life. I’ve owned these tires on two different vehicles and the longevity was very good as was the snow traction for an all season tire.
Brake early, get some winter tires, Michelin CrossClimate 2s are the best at summer and winter if you can only do one set.
I got Michelin Cross Climate 2. I expected them to be so so compared to the Pilot 4 Summer I had on, but I’ve been really pleasantly surprised. They’re a bit softer (not always a bad thing) and they make me feel so much more confident and safe in cold weather.
We went from a continental "contact" tire which was supposed to be highly rated to the crossclimates. This is on a van. The cross climates are quiet and have a much better ride quality. I haven't driven them in snow yet, but the tread appearance gives me confidence. We also have similar MPG, meaning we haven't given up mileage, and it may have improved. I'm anticipating getting them for my car soon.
I bought some nice tires for my wifes car. The set of 4 and the install was about $1500
I put a set on my Avalon. I thought they were great. Definitely dinged my gas mileage. They plowed thru standing water with ease. The wheel didn’t jerk and the car stayed true. Good in snow as well.
Got a this set of GP5000 28mm last year and have not many miles on them, maybe 300-400 mi. total. Shame to see this sidewall fail so quick, is it a fluke? What could have caused it?
Pilot Sport A/S 3+ Basically no grip on anything cold and snowy. I don't know how any of you use these where it snows with any frequency.
