Tires MICHELIN or OEM Subaru
With snow tires on my accord I was more successful than many Subaru owners who were stuck in the ditch.
Put some michellins on and the problem went away
If you drive much to snowy areas, Michelin Crossclimate2 is the way to go. They are the best in snow short of dedicated snow tires. They are somewhat quieter than the OEM and the Continental Crosscontact tires I had before.
Just got Michelin Defenders for 800 installed and the difference from the OEM Primacy tires is huge. Much quieter.
Michelin Alpin PA4 here
I have driven my previous car on the CC2, and I couldn't recommend them enough. The weather conditions we get here are exactly like yours, with the roads mostly pretty bad, and I never had any issues. Durable tires, driven on them for about 3 years, and covered around 30k km on them, and had plenty of thread left (sorry, don't know exactly how much). The guy that bought the car from me is still using them. Great in dry and rain, and very confident in snow. Quiet too.
I have CC2 and they are exceptional pretty much in all conditions. They struggle in hot weather, especially braking and they sometimes spin.
From my own experience the CrossClimate 2 is amazing. I bought them this spring, so I haven’t had the chance to see them perform in winter but I’m really confident with them. I’ve driven them a lot in 35+ Celsius on highways and saw no damage or excessive wear at all. They’re outstanding in the snow but give up some wet performance but I still loved them in the rain.
Michelin CrossClimates are great tires for who live in this quasi-continental climate that swings between humid summers, icy winters, slushy transitions, and unpredictable snow. Not the most comfortable tire but they’re overall solid
I have the Ps4s on my x5m and I’ve disliked them from day 1. Honestly can’t wait to put my winters back on so I don’t hear so much road noise.
