Tires MICHELIN or Nokia
I always go for the Michelin Pilot 4 tires since they are consistently rated and reviewed the best.
Mich Cross Climate 2 if they are ever going to touch snow but also perform exceptionally well in rain. Not cheap, considered a luxury tire, but very quiet. They have a snowflake on them, but I see people all over New Mexico use them year round probably because of monsoon season. If you ever wished for a tire you would not have to change when winter is over this is it.
I have Nokian one all seasons on my car. Ive had them for a while and they are great so far. they say they can last 80k miles which is a big claim.
Michelin cross climate 2 is the master all season tire. People who say otherwise clearly don’t drive in the snow. It competes or even beats some snow tires in stopping distance. Oh, they are fun as hell to drive on. Ignores big puddles and slush outright.
Nokian are excellent tires, not sure I will ever buy anything different from now on.
Having run continental DWS 06s for many non-summers. And this past season trying the competing Michelin. My perception is that the Michelins are quieter on rough surfaces, chip seal etc...
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Season. Second best all-season tire I’ve found. The best was the Vredestein Hypertrac, and it’s 20% cheaper than the rest.
Personally, I have always had really good results with Michelin, mostly good results with Yokohama (the S7 Advan tires were a little disappointing on my TL), mediocre results at best with Bridgestone, and generally bad results in Pirelli.
I used Michelin's second tier called "Uniroyal Tiger Paw Ice & Snow" and they were great for winter but poor in wet and dry pavement .
Just replaced mine at 24k, and this was after comments from a tire shop when rotating them that they were shot at 17k. I bought a tread gauge and sure enough they were all in the red, and the inner front tires were bald.
