Tires MICHELIN or Cooper
After all my research I settled on Michelin X ICE Snow SUV. I went with 18" wheels and the ride is smooth, with a slight hum from the winter threads. Overall very quiet.
I’ve had the Michelin CC2’s for about 30k + miles and they still perform amazing in the Snow. Was up around Breck the opening weekend and had no problems.
Much better in all conditions than the Cooper AT3 S4s they replaced (though to be fair they were older and ready to be replaced). They ride quietly, comfortably aren’t killing my gas mileage and performed very very well in the recent snow.
I'm in the same boat as you are. 2022 AWD and I'm looking at the Michelin crossclimate 2 or the Yokohama yk-ctx.
We have Michelin defender2 on the alltrack for the past 20K and they are nice and quiet, no signs of cupping so far.
I have Defender 2s and still have 7mm of tread left after 80,000 miles. They've been great so far.
Something like the Michelin Defender is a safe bet and I've run those on Rav4's before.
Michelin Cross Climate 2's........been a great tire so far, got about 1000 miles on them.
Also have had General Altimax on a Subaru that were fine as well as Michelin X-ice on a BMW x-1.
The pilot sports are terrible. I burned through my set in 11000 miles.
