I have a MYP that came with Pirellis. I got 27K miles out of them, but being that they're summer tires, they had zero snow ability and didn't perform well under 45F. I just got all new Michelin Pilot Sport AS4's and they are so much better in every category. The ride quality is a massive improvement and they handle better imo. They're also all season and have a much higher tread life.
What's most important to me is the traction: dry, wet, snow. I want one of the best all season tires I can get, regardless of the sound or ride quality. I ended up going with Michelin CrossClimate 2, lots of reviews out there and I believe one of the best all season.
My experience was the same with the factory tires (I know you changed yours out). I replaced those at 70k with Michelin Cross Country II’s and HOLY CRAP, what a difference.
I live in the snow belt in Canada and made it home during the storm of the decade without issue. They’re not a dedicated snow tire by any means; but I’ve been pleased with their performance overall.
AT’s, and specifically a narrower width (245/70R17) AT3W, has performed very well for me. I have had four sets on two vehicles totaling 260,000 miles and just recently replaced them again on my Tacoma after 60,000 miles.
Love them. Had them for about 3 years in NJ and they handle so much better than KO2's in the snow.
They do great in snow, I live in Montana and haven’t had any problems. However, I can’t say any non-designated winter tire is great on ice. Snow is no problem though for the AT3W’s
The CrossClimate2 is an incredible tire that beats everything else in its class. Look at the reviews online, it's amazing and worth every penny. The Kumhos aren't nearly as good.
Try the Michelin route, maybe they'll cover it.
1. Harsh ride- you feel every little bump. 2. Mediocre performance. 3. Pricey. I just swapped these tires out for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on my Beamer. Best investment I made so far this year. No regrets.
