Get some CrossClimates great snow ready all-seasons. I had them on an AWD car when I lived on a rural island in the PNW. We had no snow plow except the neighbors little john deere.
In September I switched to slightly narrower and taller Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 in 265/50R20, and they have been awesome. I’m now about 5000 miles in on the Defenders and have tested them in every environment this car can safely go. We drove from upstate NY to CO at fast highway speeds and they were great, felt better than the stock tires. We have been in eastern Idaho for a month and have done every fire road I can find between here and western WY and southwestern MT, and they have been flawless. We got snow overnight and into today, so I hit the dirt roads this morning and they were again flawless in mixed snow / gravel / mud.
The Michelin LTX AT2... Less void to rubber ratio than the BFG AT TA KO2 means it will be quieter, less susceptible to cupping, have a longer tread life, and still retain it's grip and clean out capability for snow and mud. I sold dozens of sets of both and had the opportunity to observe their performance over years.
My Wildpeak at3 held up to 90k miles. Highway use with cell tower trails between highway runs. They are a great tire.
I have just over 1000 miles on the falkens, and on road, I don't think I could tell the difference between them and the Michelin crossover tires that I had before. They're obviously much better off road.
Mostly road driving with a little off road. I love them.
I’m happier with the Falkens, to be honest. Quiet on the road and show less wear.
For snow, winter tires are much more affective than AWD on all season. Even the cheapest set of winter tires will outperform summer/all season
Michelin CrossClimates are great tires for who live in this quasi-continental climate that swings between humid summers, icy winters, slushy transitions, and unpredictable snow. Not the most comfortable tire but they’re overall solid
If it comes with the oem Falken tires get rid of them immediately as they will wear out very quickly.
