Tires MICHELIN or GT Radial
Haven't tried any GT Radials on my SUVs or pickup, but I am using/have used them on my hatchback (Champiro GTX Pro 300tw, ₱4k per tire) and sedan (Champiro SX2 200tw, ₱6.5k per tire). In terms of pricing, with the sizes and variants I got, they're only a hair cheaper than the established brands. Although, performance is also comparable to what my other options are so I'm still satisfied. They're also good against punctures since I never got punctured even after 4/5 years.
If you get a decent amount of snow, go for cross climate 2. Road noise is a bit higher than others but they are good in snow. I got caught in a nasty storm and they were great.
If you want to stay with the existing 22" wheel setup, I would talk with your favorite tire store about changing to 305/45R22 for the rears. The tire width will decrease from 12.6 to 12.0 and tire height will increase from 32.2 to 32.8, but you will have more options for all-season tires. Specially, the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 is available in both 285/45R22 and 305/45R22 and is a very good tire.
This year got some Michelin cross climates. It is unbelievable.
I mean I really pushed it for fun and it had 0 issues. Great awd.
We have crossclimate2 on our Leaf and they are excellent. Summer driving are a little louder than the oem tires. When our Ariya is ready for tires, they will be a contender.
Cross climates are excellent, had many sets in my accord hybrid, but be prepared for a slight range hit. I haven’t run the pirelli scorpions, but from what other folks say the performance is solid, not cross climate level in the snow, but competent. However, they are quieter overall.
We put cross climates on my wife’s CX-5 here in CO. Like them a lot.
I love my CrossClimate 2. If you are good with the price, not much beats them in performance.
other than being louder than the stock bridgestone turanza that replaced my forester's tires, can't compain about the performance on the road. going 30k now and still has alot of meat.
I have the older E-primacy and they're awful. So stick with the standard version.
