I’ve been riding the defenders two plus years in the Reno Tahoe area
I commute on 80 in all kinds of weather especially snow and honestly never had a problem
My Winter set up includes Y rated tires, however they are not a Winter tire per Se. They are all season/ all-weather tires with the 3MPSF severe winter rating.
Get Micheline X Ice North 4 of Nokian. All 3 of our cars have studded tires and we are the only ones with traction through all winter.
Love Michelin PS in any car TBH
I had cross climate twos on my Chevy Bolt in northern Michigan, they were awesome for snow, but definitely hurt my range. I'd consider them again but just know that your range will be affected.
If you’re driving that much I would just go with the Michelin defender 2s. Personally I wouldn’t buy any tires that aren’t Michelin they are by far the best imo
I’ve been driving Michelin Climacontact (285/20) for 4 years and two sets. A dedicated tire will always be better but for me it is a good compromise.
I don’t have a lot of experience with winter tires, but the Michelin Pilot Alpins I used last winter were fantastic.
I’m on my second set. I buy them used, as factory take offs. $800/ set cash. Someone is always selling a set when I need them. Good on highway and light off road, stone/gravel. Horrible in snow. a little slippery in rain.
I'm disliking mine. Could have been a suspension problem initially. But at 65-75/80 the steering wheel shakes. Still travels straight, but the annoyance of seeing/feeling it shake is terrible.
