I bought enkei 17s and Michelin x ice for winter. It was a lot easier to get tires and also doubles as a good rim for cheap track tires also if you want as 215 17s are pretty common
as a owner of the CrossClimate2s in NEvl Wisconsin, the supreme snow traction they provide in the winter is top notch, even on par with the best winter tires (winter tires do provide better ice traction). While we do see an efficiency impact of about 5%, it's totally worth the benefits they provide in the winter.
They're very good tyres. Bit noisy on the corners, but very good.
Installed these on my EV6. They’re pretty great in the snow (also in CO). Expect a 10-15% hit to your range
The Goodyear reliant from Walmart are affordable and unlike other cheapo tires the side walls aren’t paper thin
Just installed a new set of Michelin CrossClimate2 all weather tires to tackle the upcoming Colorado winter. Ride seems a bit more firm, in a generally good way. Seems just as quiet on most surfaces, and from prior experience with these on my other cars, I know the trend to get a bit quiter after an initial break in period.
I switched out to Cross Climate 2s , from Connecticut up to Portland was probably some of the worst snow I've ever had to drive in. They felt Incredible. I drive on the highway every day here and in thunderstorms it's nothing but confidence.
I work at Goodyear and they look like normal new snows to me, the softer rubber can pick dirt and other shit up faster than other tire models if not driven in winter conditions if you’re referring to the faded coloration
I had the AS3 on my old Accord Sport. Outside of grip, I didn't really care for them (loud, rough, but it was on an already sort of loud Honda), and the OG DWS on my old Si. Those were OK.
I got these when they first came out. Worst tires I ever had. They wear out super prematurely on the inside edge due to their “rounded” shape. I only got about 22,000 miles out of them, the OEM Continentals got over 50k before those, and then 40k after before I sold the car. Alignment was good the whole time. Driving style was conservative. These tires also had zero difference in range or performance. In fact I thing the handling was even worse. The road noise was only slightly quieter.
