Tires MICHELIN or GT Radial
Pair that with a set of Michelin X-Ice snow tires and you will be completely invincible on the Minnesota roads.
I swapped my tires for a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2\u2019s once the treads on my Kumho wore off. The upgrade has been great, especially in the rain and snow.
I have Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires now on year around and they work pretty great. Not as good as my old setup with dedicated winter tires, but they're good enough. I'd say they work just as well as dedicated winter tires with fresh snow, so if you want to be able to handle a few unplowed inches then they do that excellently.
We got michelin crossclimate 2 tires and really like them. If you\u2019re looking for tire recommendations. They are all season tires that do really well in the snow.
On my wife's truck in the summer she likes quieter tires so Michelin Defenders, but she gets the same Winterforce LTs in the winter.
I switch to Michelin x-ice in the winter. There\u2019s always going to be that \u201cjust drive better\u201d snob that acts like winters are a waste but at least once a year they slam on their brakes in snow and for a brief few seconds they wish they had winters on.
I got the Michelin CC2s, I can testify they are amazing tires and perform VERY well in winter driving.
Michelin cross climate 2 are amazing and amongst the best year round all weather tire. Great in Midwest snow and cold temps along. It\u2019s a great tire and a top seller for a reason.
We got a lot of refunds for Michelin primacy tires with foam separation, maybe Pirelli will give you your money back too.
This looks like to be a Michelin PS 3 or 4. If my guess is correct, these are sport tire which means soft rubber compound, and because of that they degrade (harden) fast. From experience, with normal use, they are good for 2-3 years of driving, then they get horribly bad (hard). Above 4 years they become hard like hockey pucks - the rubber looks shiny with lots of micro cracking and they are (from experience) deadly in the rain. So, judging from the picture one (i see micro cracking) and the fact they are 5 years old: They are gone. Tread depth is irrelevant now. They are so hard that you cant wear them down not even in 100.000km. Btw. about 6-7mm is the tread depth when these (Michelin PS) tires are new.
