Tires MICHELIN or DUNLOP
Michelin cross climate 2. Just buy it. Your done. Best all around tire you can get.
CrossClimate2 is the golden standard of all-weather tires. You can't go wrong with this (other than the price).
Crossclimate 2 tires are still the best performing all weather/all season tires in the snow. I advised my dad to buy a pair and he is extremely happy with that decision. He is driving a 2017 mazda 3.
In my experience, good tires like Michelin retain their good qualities at the end of their life better. They stay quiet and don't lose traction until the very end.
Honestly ive had defenders and ecopias on my gc i just put on some cross climates 2 and i love them! Nice a quiet great in wet conditions and unreal in snow!
I have these uncommon/hard-to-find Michelin summer tires (made in Germany - they are normally for the base 15" wheel on Minis) on my Yaris and it's legitimately fun. It's like a grand-touring summer, not a full-fledged high-performance tire. The main thing I was after was better braking compared to the rock-hard LRR tires that came on it.
I'm now running Michelin Power Cup TLRs for my road setup (similar to GP5000s) and I beat my fastest commute, my fastest long descent, and my fastest loop with hills handily. Before that I was running heavy commuter slicks.
Best tires I’ve ever owned for all weather
I ran these tires once to save money. You can get a knee down but noticably less traction than something like an s22. Afterwords I switched to michelin power 5's, loved them.
I'm agnostic about Pirelli. Never owned a set of Michelin that I liked. Over priced, over hyped, and did not come close to mileage expectations. Yes, they were regularly maintained and rotated.
