Tires MICHELIN or Nokia
Love my Nokian Ones. Seem to be good on efficiency, wear, performance, and price.
I switched out to Cross Climate 2s , from Connecticut up to Portland was probably some of the worst snow I've ever had to drive in. They felt Incredible. I drive on the highway every day here and in thunderstorms it's nothing but confidence.
I've had the Nokian WRG models for the past 10 years and there's always been a song and dance with each model I tried. The WRG3 were excellent in the snow but the treadwear and dry performance was average (Enough for my driving needs, however). The WRG4 were slightly worse in the snow compared to the WRG4 (Still decent) but leaps better in dry performance and rain. The problem with the WRG4 was the susceptibility to dry rot and overall "wear" from normal driving. They have been punctured, misshapen, and suffered "premature" treadwear compared to what was advertised as the expected tread-life of the tire. But given how well they perform in my 4-season climate state, I would rate them highly. Tire noise is minimal, performance all around is outstanding, and minimal diminishing of performance through treadwear.
I got around 20k from my next set of Michelin pilot road 4's and have not run another tire since. Yes they're expensive, but their dollar per mile ratio is incredible and they have fantastic wet weather performance
Michelin road 6s. Not budget but I'm sitting at 10k miles and have probably another 4 to 6k till they need replaced.
I’ve been riding the defenders two plus years in the Reno Tahoe area
I commute on 80 in all kinds of weather especially snow and honestly never had a problem
My Winter set up includes Y rated tires, however they are not a Winter tire per Se. They are all season/ all-weather tires with the 3MPSF severe winter rating.
We have studded Nokian hakkapalitta, love them.
