Tires MICHELIN or Kumho
I have Michelin Cross Climate 2 on both my midsized sedan Front Driver and our AWD Mazda CX-9 SUV and we are utterly safe and quiet and happy but we're not hitting tracks or corners at 0.8 G. My #1 priority is WET STOPPING. Where I live we get very little snow but they're said to handle it well also. They're quiet and smooth with solid steering feedback. And plenty of dry handling capabilities
Had these on my car and definitely worth the premium. Just switched over to crossclimate2 though bc I moved to a snowier climate and already miss the PSAS4
I have pilot sport 5, my brother has them, my father too, they are a very good tire, but if put dominic toretto mode on they are gone
We bought a set of Michelin WeatherGuard tires at Costco. They are well worth it. We were able to drive in the mountains over ice and snow
I ran the PSAS4 on my Audi Allroad (coming from the factory Continentals) and it made such a difference there's probably nothing else I'd rather run other than to try out the Conti DWS 06+ if it was significantly cheaper. I think the Michelin is just a better tire overall and their specialty tires are basically the leader in the industry.
I went with Kuhmo Solus TA31 EV 215/55/17 and am very happy. Stock is 50 tall but due to rougher roads here and oncoming winter, I got a slight taller tire to better absorb road imperfections.
I like my cc2s for traction in general. Although I have done some stupid shit on the snow with those tires.
Michelin X-Ice for me. They do great in slush and slop too - we got 11” of snow here in Minnesota a last spring and one of the kids and I drove around with shovels and kitty litter helping folks who were stuck, it was unbelievably fun - the Crosstrek is unstoppable with those tires.
My Road 6 barely lasted 13,000 miles.
I was impressed by the performance. They didn't last as long as everyone had hyped them to be.
I also have a 2024 Hyundai and it has the same Kumho tires. I have had 2 of the tires patched and a 3rd just went flat yesterday. I went to replace it and was told all 4 are so worn that it is a safety hazard to not replace them. I have only driven the car for 20,000 miles.
