Tires MICHELIN or GISLAVED
I live in Colorado and last fall I got Michelin CrossClimate 2s for my VB. Great tires! They worked beautifully all winter with the snow that we had (along with several trips up to the slopes) and also worked great with all of the rain this spring/summer.
I just bought a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2, which are arguably the best all-season tire out right now.
Just tried out Sullivan Tire for the first time. Got a good deal on a set of Michelin's, they were running a free install promo.
Ideally get a winter and summer set of wheels to have maximum performance during all of the seasons but if you want to run an all season tire like I am the Michelin pilot sport all season 4 is great.
Their nothing fancy but it’s the x-ice tires and it worked great in the snow this past winter!
I really like my road 6 tires. They have even done pretty well on an accidental 10-mile gravel detour. I have 2000 miles on a rear that looks like new.
I replaced my 21 Elantra OEM Kumho tires at 25k; although, they certainly could’ve gone a while longer but I had recently moved north and they weren’t cutting it in the snow.
Put some Michelin CrossClimate 2’s on it and haven’t looked back. Great tires.
The CrossClimates are wonderful tire. I just put on a few 100km of light off road as you requested and no issues at all. They are wonderful in rain and snow. The only downsides would be: unidirectional and the aggressive thread pattern seems to suck up the rocks pretty good. But if you do mostly highway, these truly are an all climate tire.
There’s a guide by Michelin out there and according to that a little surface level dry rot is nbd, especially in the tread area
Stay away from American made tires, it might sound crazy to hear but it's true. Michelin, Goodyear, MasterCraft, Cooper, they aren't worth the hassle the compound is much too soft.
