Tires MICHELIN or Continental
Had Michelin X-ice tires on my g8 GT when I had that. I could hardly tell it was a RWD muscle car.
I have cross climate 2s that are highly rated all weather tires for winter driving. They're phenomenal. My current FWD car drives about the same as my old AWD car did thanks to them.
I'm running the stock 19"s on my Mk8 with Continental Vikings. So far I'm content.
Continental Vikingcontact 7 is by far my favorite for snow and ice mix (we get a lot of slush with ice under it here). also pretty quiet for a winter tire on dry roads.
I run Nokian Hakka RS5 on my GTI. Continental Viking contact 7 on our Golf wagon. Both are excellent.
Currently on Continental winter contact TS860 235 35 19, cannot say a word against them in light and heavy snow conditions.
I buy Michelin Pilot Sport all-season tires because their performance means my safety. (Also because they handle well when I’m having fun)
For a second vehicle that still has to be solid in snow, I’d go Michelin X-Ice Snow and not even think twice. They bite way harder on packed snow than any A/T and make a heavy truck like a Silverado feel way more planted on cold mornings. I ran them on my old 1500 and the difference in braking/steering vs. all-terrains was huge.
Yes, A little sketchy in snow and on ice. They ride nicely and provide good grip otherwise.
I have Michelin X-Ice and I didn’t like them last year. Would not recommend.
