I found Michelin Road 5s to keep their excellent feel in the wet and the cold. I commuted in under 10 degrees F and through snowstorms on them several times. Obviously slowed way down in the snow, but the tires kept telling me they had more grip if I wanted it.
Very decent snow tires despite not being all-out winters. AMAZING in the rain. Aquaplane resistance is second to none, great straight line grip, pretty good in the corners. My current set is down to about 5/16 and is losing grip like crazy, but that is expected. It took 70k miles to get down to 5/16, by the way.
I also have GOOD tires (Nokian Norseman studless ) and chains I can put on(Thule Easy-fit )
Laughs in Nokian winter tires ????
You could go to an all weather tire like the Michelin Cross Climate 2
Crossclimate 2 on 2016 Civic over 70k miles on them and still good (per Costco, I still have about 15020K miles on them). They are very good on water and ok in snow. HOWEVER they become noisier as they age.
The v730s have significantly more grip and won’t get as greasy and the Michelin.
Just got a set of CC2\u2019s last week for my XT6. Already have them on our minivan and my son\u2019s Fusion (my previous work vehicle). I don\u2019t notice anymore road noise from the CC2 compared to the OEM tire (Michelin Primacy Tour). We just got about 8\u201d of snow yesterday in to today and the CC2 are significantly better in the snow than the PT were last winter. I have a short ride to the office now but I went through 2 sets of CC2\u2019s on the Fusion when I was driving 100+ miles a day to my previous job and they were excellent in all conditions at highway speeds.
Vozio sam Michelin cross climate 2 all seasson pa pricam iz iskustva. Jedina mana sto ce all seasson vise da se trosi i brze da izgubi te karakteristike ako se vozi leti. Ne verujem da bi bilo koja all seasson izdrzala duze od 3 letnje sezone a da pritom i dalje budu dobre za sneg.
That is the tread of my Nokain Hakkapellita tire, sitting on the side of the highway after blowing off the tire at highway speeds.
This is my winter car, a Subaru Impreza. Nokian Hakkapellita winter tires stay on the car year round, as it only gets driven in the winter months. The tires are 3 years old.
I decided to start the car up and take it for a drive one night in late September, thinking nothing of the tires. I made it about 15 minutes into my drive before BANG, my front drivers side tire tread completely disconnected from the tire, and the sidewall blew apart.
I was driving about 110km/h when this happened and the car almost rolled before I got it back under control.
When I went back up to retrieve the car the next day, the amount of dry rot on the tires was mind blowing. These 3 year old tires had completely dry rotted out over the course of the summer without me thinking to even have a look.
