Yea any E rated tire is going to suffer on ride quality. I’ve settled on Michelin Defender ms2s. They come in a 275/65/20 - 34.1” P rated tire. Gives me the taller stance I like but are not an aggressive looking tire. Ride quality is fantastic.
Michelins all year round for me in Kent UK. It’s great.
Michelin pilot sport 4s are a step above the nt555
I've ran PS4's in Cali too, I think they're worth the price. Ever since I switched to Hankook all-seasons, I miss the PS4's every day.
I run the Nokian Nordmans (without studs) on my 24 XL Hybrid here on the coast of Maine. Last winter my MPG did drop a bit, probably by 2-3 miles. The peace of mind is worth the mileage.
EESTIT MAINUTUD RAAWWWRRRR
Michelen X-ice for my XC60. Now I crunch everywhere I go but necessary in this environment.
Will be same here in a few weeks, except Michelin X ice on steels. They kinda look small on the truck to me compared to the XLT wheelset but they ride good. If you have AWD, you will really be loving it in the snow. FWD is serviceable, but can slip going uphill if I have to stop. Torque steering in deep snow too, I have to apply constant corrections. AWD should be much better. There is an efficiency hit with the softer rubber, but low temps make a much bigger impact on mpg I think. Not a worry really, just the cost of doing business.
I regret getting PS5 on mine. The tires are too good and take away much of Miata’s fun factor.
Michelin is the only brand that comes close and I've calculated they're roughly 30% more expensive and last me about 80% as long. I was a big Michelin fanboy and loyal to a fault.
