my stock GY wranglers are holding strong through rock climbing and mud.
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.
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
Cross Clikate 2. They are comfy and quieter than the Michelin Defenders and Primacy.
Even if there's only an inch or two of snow (or more likely icy slush) down on the pavement, you'll notice a difference in traction between all season and proper winter tires.
I use the Michelin climate 2s. I love them
I think my defenders only have 65k - but they were considerably less expensive.
My old pilot sport 5s tires were downright dangerous even with light snow. Forget about ice entirely. They are too expensive and wear too quickly for the 1% of time they are truly useful.
