Tires MICHELIN or Kumho
Wife had a set of Continentals on her GLE 350 and two rears had belt issue so had to replace and the same Conti’s were not available. We went with two Kumho Ecsta and they are solid.
They handle great on ice, they cut through deep snow. I didn't skid or slide much, and I didn't get pulled around during lane changes or driving my car across deep ruts.
I put a set on my 2006 Ram. LT, and I think the total was about $450. No problems, better ride than what I had.
Underated brand. I just went through my first set of v730s. I'll be buying them again this spring.
I have Michelin Defender2s on my '19. They are great tires. I don't really see any snow, but they do great in the rain. They ride well, are pretty grippy for all-seasons and handle 80mph on the highway with 0 issues.
I just upgraded our Crosstrek Hybrid to Cross Climate 2's - They are good all-season touring tires. The stock Falken tires are... meh, and mine didn't seem to last very long.
It's only been a day, but the CC2's are super responsive and the car is a whole lot quieter.
I have the same vehicle and put Michelin CC2 on it. They're a grip hugging tire and have enjoyed having them on the vehicle. One other tire that I've come across and considering for the future are the Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive which was tested and outperformed the CC2 on wet roads. However, the CC2 does have a better tread life and wear rate. Can't go wrong with either.
Michelin Defender 100%. Cross Climate is a close second. Michelin are expensive for a reason- they’re the best. Fantastic ride quality, durable rubber compound, and most importantly even tread wear. 10x better than the junk OEM Falken or Yokohama tires
I have these on my Q5 and while I like them and they are grippy, I don’t notice any difference in road noise from the stock tires.
Pilot Sport A/S 3+ Basically no grip on anything cold and snowy. I don't know how any of you use these where it snows with any frequency.
