Tires MICHELIN or NITTO
I vouch for good all weather tires. The Michelin Cross climates are great (although I think at some point they’ve been surpassed now by even better)
I'm quite happy with the Michelins on my Camry powered Pontiac Vibe GT. Good in snow and torrential rains.
I have Michelin Defender 2's. They're great. Quiet, last a long time, and do good enough in snow.
1.2k miles in with the Michelin Defenders and they still measure at 11/32. 22’s with the Defenders is the move.
Seat is good. Mishlen commander 3 tires
The Michelin pilot sport 2s are awesome on my 09
We are very happy with the Michelin x-ice 3 for our Niro Ev
I was very happy with my switch down to 20 in wheels and Michelin Defenders. Slightly cheaper tires, more sidewall with better ride quality. Minimal impact range versus the 21" wheels and tires with aero covers.
I now drive on x-ice snow, and I don’t have a comparison (I buy new winter tires every 6 years or so on different vehicles) but I do find the x-ice snow to lose grip somewhat rapidly at the limit, and prefer a more gradual slip at limit.
I got the Kia Niro EV used. It came with Michelin Primacy MXV4. If I drive in Normal mode or Sport mode, they slip with even moderate amounts of acceleration.
