Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli
Ice x are 95% as good but much better on regular pavement for when it isn't snowing as much. I usually chose the ice x for my car
I run the Pirelli on my B9.5 S4 and no complains so far, heading into first full winter together so I'll see how it goes.
I went from those same tires to Michelin PS4s and I'm very happy with them. I have no issues in the rain.
I like Pirelli ice zero fr, they have the best grip, Bridgestone also fine
I gotta say the factory Michelin PS AS 4 on non z51 c8s are actually incredible. I can't believe how well they hook up for an all season.
I would say get studless snow tires (not all-seasons): Michelin X-Ice Snow, Bridgestone Blizzak WS90, or Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5.
I was faced with the same issue, so I measured the tread depth difference. In about 16 K miles, my Michelin Defenders were down by about 0.178 mm or 0.007\" or 0.224/32.
Michelin X-Ice tires on sale at Canadian Tire have one the best value for a quality tire.
Not on a X7, but on a Hyundai Equus (air ride as well that eat rear tires every 15k miles). Michelin lasted only 10k miles, and might have been a bit more comfortable, but this is it.
Absolute garbage, they only lasted 20k miles on my XC90 T8. Pretty bad in wet conditions also.
