Those ain't snow tires. Get some Michelin ice x 3
I went with the cooper ATPII They were $269 a tire at discount over Christmas week. So far just as quiet as the pirellis started out, i have them at 60PSI instead of 48PSI and the efficiency is near enough no difference. They are an LT tire so they are rated for more pressure then the oem’s.
In the mud so far they have done just as well, the on road feel is no different. I really like them, they are M&S rated but not 3peak, all though that seems to not make much of a difference so far in my opinion.
At 70K miles I went with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S4 tires. That was about 7,000 miles ago and they are by far the best tires I have had on this car.
The sportiest all-weather tires are probably the Michelin CrossClimate 2, Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2, and Pirelli WeatherActive.
Pilot Sport AS4
Pilot sport all season 4
had mrf, changed to michelin, big difference and worth the price. (TB 350). also have installed apollo in my scooty, no complains so far, can give it a try in future.
Defender LTX has been capable and quiet in my experience.
I did get caught out by black ice last week and skidded a bit but then also got caught out in a different place in my mums car which is on Cross Climates, doing about 20mph both times. Both times I luckily got away with it but black ice is black ice, Cross Climates may give a slightly better chance of getting it back after skidding but not enough to be worth it imo.
I'm a mechanic, but still personally only stick to Michelin/Continental/Nokian religiously on my cars. Our parts dept fleet at my shop are all fitted with Coopers in the summer and Nexens in the winter. I hate them. Noisy, garbage in the weather, garbage in the dry.
