My vote is for Michelin Cross Climate 2 on an all wheel drive in the Suquehanna Valley area.
Hankook rs4 is a great seat time tire. If you want it to last for the most amount of autocross/track days and seat time that’s a good option.
Well, FWIW, my new set of Hankook iON i-Cept SUV (IW01A) 275/35R21 is behaving as expected in the wet Vancouver weather. Had them on for a month now, running 35 PSI front and 36 PSI rear, it's comfortable, quiet and grippy.
Compared to the stock summer Pirellis my Hankooks don't skip/rub at low speed at full lock, get going better off the line in the wet, and seem very predictable into the corners.
This and the Cup 2R are just one lap wonders. They're great if you want to set the best time in a time attack/qualifying event but once they overheat, you lose a lot of grip.
My Legacy is a bit heavier and automatic, for that I went with Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires for snow capable year rounders. They're absolutely amazing, not too loud in summer, very capable as a snow tire.
I have an AWD SUV and I'm getting my four Michelin X-Ice's put on Friday. They have saved my butt numerous times out in rural parts of Bucks county and in Philly too.
I live in Brooklyn and purchased the IS350 AWD last year and use the Michelin pilot sport all seasons and I've had no issues.
Im running Michelin MXV3-A 195/60/14 on Bottlecaps and I’m more than happy. As someone said it’s reproduction of an old tire from 80s and 90s so it’s a nice touch as well.
I had these brand new, very very quiet but shook the steering wheel like crazy. Tesla said it was from being strapped down too tight and replaced with Pilot Sport 4. Noisier tyre, otherwise havent noticed much difference!
As someone thats ran dedicated snow tires, they won’t impress you in snow and ice. The stopping distance in snow/ice is not much better than a standard all-season. Also, after the second season in snow (Michigan) even though they had 7.5mm tread the performance was really lackluster, maybe this is because of heat cycling throughout the summer making the compound harder? It was a fun experiment, but I’m Definitely going back to swapping seasonal tires. Nothing replaces true snow tire grip. Also, they are not very quiet, or very efficient. Saw about a 8% drop.
