Tires MICHELIN or Hankook
I have a set of Michelins Cross Climates, which are all season tires highly rated for the snow, and I've never had any issues in the snow. I've bought about 5 or 6 sets on various vehicles ranging from Toyota, Subaru and most recently on my 2018 M3LR (2 different sets), 2023 MYLR and most recently my 2025 M3P (switch to 18s with cross climates).
Great for everyday driving and i have gotten 55k plus miles with mostly highway driving and tire rotation every 6k to 8k miles.
My RWD IS300 did great in the snow with Michelin X-Ice’s.
For instance on my pickup I run a Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 and it is way more then enough and can run all year (and get 85k miles on a set), but I do run a winter on my wife's car because her summer tire is just crap.
My current favorite is the Michelin CrossClimate2. I have this on 2 of 3 vehicles in my house. Handle great in not just winter weather, but also in rain.
Hankook I-Pikes are the ones I’ve been using recently, absolutely fantastic tires
For my hellcat the best are Michelin PS4 and nothing else. Superior tire and warranty. Costs a little bit upfront then warranty then every 15k miles at 50% off.
Had PSs on my BMW years ago. Best tires ever. It’s like riding on rails!
I went with 16" Michelin Primacy 4 68db ones and road noise has reduced quite a bit. Plus if you're in the UK, your 16" rims will never touch the kerb!
Have firehawks on a C5, PS4 on a C4 GS. Both are fine for street driving. I certainly can push the C4 WAY harder but how hard you drive is a huge factor. The PS4 is also way susceptible to flat spotting if the car sits (mine do)
After switch to Defender 2 tires, I lost an instant 20% in efficiency - consistently !!!
