I'm a fan of nokian (hakkas, and also Nordman North), but I've also used Goodyear (ultra grip), Firestone (Winter fire/Winter Force), Bridgestone (blizzak), and most recently Michelin (x-ice snow, made in Canada - elbows up!), and they've all been excellent.
My current one is an 18 with Michelin cross climate 2s on it. I have to intentionally make it slide in order for it to happen. I think there has been one instance that was not intentional.
Got them on my model 3 (2020) and changed my Michelin pilot sport 4. Great grip but ooh wow what an extra road ( humming) sound. That\u2019s the only con I experience.
The best tire I have found for this setup is the Kenda K161 Knobby Cross 27x1-3/8 Gum Wall Tire. I have a set on a city bike of similar vintage and geometry and they're really quite good.
I have Michelin cross climate on plaid and I drive like a lunatic currently at 38k miles and i think I have 10kish more miles left i think.
But in your size the Michelin CrossClimate2 would be my pick.
I have a Chrysler Pacifica and the factory tires on that were pretty awful in the snow and ice. When it was time to replace them I went with the Michelin Crossclimate 2. It was done in early January so could easily compare to the old tires and there was a significant improvement.
Been driving in Canadian winters with X-Ice\u2019s for the past 3 winters and have never had any issues. Always feel safe on the road with them, and I\u2019ve had to drive through blizzards several times.
Nothing wrong till the rubber underneath pops out. He's on company policy standard. It'll only last like half a season to full season. Same as my michelline xice 3 ive been using all winter last year now summer, soon to be winter again. Its also as pictured
I'm not very impressed with 19" Michelin Ice-Xs on my YP compared to Blizzaks that I used to run on my WRX, but I think it's more to do with Tesla's 60/40 AWD v Subaru's symmetrical 50/50 AWD.
