I use Pilot Sport A/S 4s and they can handle any normal (i.e. non-blizzard) amount of snow with relative ease. They were great in the Midwest last winter, including in the snow.
We have had Michelin Defenders on both ours they ride and handle like no other tire I’ve had.
the cross clime2 are really good tires had them on my van for a couple of years they are a little louder but are almost as good as mich ice on snow and ice and better in rain.
I replaced the stock Michelin Energy Saver set with Michelin Defender2 last year. Never going back.
Definitely better grip and handling, especially when wet. There was an impact to range but it was pretty negligible.
Pick up some Michelin Cross Climate 2’s. Triple peak snow rated, 60k miles, and perform well even in the heat.
I bought all weather Michelin cross climate2 tires. I don’t want to have 2 sets of tires. I live in southern Ontario and we get snow yes but roads are generally taken care of well and I don’t go North at all.
I put good winter tires on it (Michelin X-Ice Snow EV) and I’ve not had an issue with RWD. Today was the first day I’ve driven it in pure winter conditions and it was a dream to drive.
I bought these when living in Western Colorado and they did great for last winter. I also had a great experience with them in the PNW/Western Oregon in a more rainy than snowy climate. They were about $1000 total and came with a reasonable warranty which I recommend for any AWD vehicle.
I do notice that they can be loud but I don't care. They also seem to decrease fuel efficiency but I am okay with that since I am starting with high efficiency in the first place.
They are what I expect for OEM/stock light duty truck tires, fine on the road and light off-road duty into a farm field or pasture. They don't slip anywhere near as much as the Michelin aftermarket tires I ran on my F150 on wet pavement/gravel and seem pretty reasonable on the road noise so far.
Michelin is trash. Last tires rated 90000 miles last only 32000 on my car. NEVER EVER more Michelin.
I switched to Continental. Much better, quieter and long lasting.
