We live in KY and my daughter drives a Kia Soul. She was getting stuck in the smallest amounts of snow. We put these tires on her car because she was moving to Colorado and we hoped for the best. Her car goes like a tank there now. She has been through 2 winters and no issues with these tires. She lives in a ski town and it seems like it is always snowing there. She drives a lot for her job and I couldn't be happier with these tires. I have driven this car across the country with these tires, they are very quiet and grip the road great.
Michelin City Grip 2 100/80r16
Panaracer T-servs as many have suggested are narrow/fast in the dry, but I prefer the fatter Michelin ProTeks that have a larger contact patch for the wet.
If you're looking for an all around great summer & winter tire, I would recommend downsizing to 18" or 19" and getting the Michelin CrossClimate 2. Definitely not the best at dry acceleration or snow grip but overall an amazing tire at an affordable price.
Michelin AT 2 LT tire. Load Range E of course. I have 2022 Silverado 2500 with a truck camper on its back full time for 2.5 years. 46k miles and they still looks almost new. Great balance between on and off road.
Defender of course! I’m (Ioniq 5) in my second set of Defender. Very strong grip.
Michelin M/S2 has been my go-to highway tire for the taco
You’re use case screams Michelin Defender. Fantastic long life tire with good traction and can handle some dirt too.
Switching this week from Kumho Ecsta PS91 on 20" Induction wheels to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 on 18" RTX Spider wheels. Will search for a phone app to plot accelerometer output and do a tit-for-tat comparison on a couple of bad local roads.
I personally didn't like Michelin tires when I was a tire technician, but I won't discount their strengths. The biggest problem with Michelin tires is dry rot, I don't recommend them if the car sits for long periods outside.
