For a second vehicle that still has to be solid in snow, I’d go Michelin X-Ice Snow and not even think twice. They bite way harder on packed snow than any A/T and make a heavy truck like a Silverado feel way more planted on cold mornings. I ran them on my old 1500 and the difference in braking/steering vs. all-terrains was huge.
a dedicated winter like the Michelin X-Ice Snow makes a huge difference on those slick mornings and unplowed side streets.
Bit the bullet this year and put the Michelin X-Ice on. Completely different handling and traction.
Best tires on the market are Michelin Defenders. You’ll thank me in 3 years when you have little to no tire wear
I just put Michelin Crossclimate2s on mine and they're doing great.
I’m in CA I only buy Michelin defenders for all my cars can’t be beat and will last 70k, they are expensive but will last twice as long saving you money
Michelin AS 4 are a solid pick. I\u2019ve run the 3s and 3+ models in previous years and handled driving in up to 6\u201d of snow when the front bumper turned into a snow plow.
I like Michelin X-Ice North4 tires since their studded. The X-Ice Snow ones are good too
Factory tires wore fast. The scorpions couldn't last more than 20k for me. Bought a few sets but ended up getting the ltx platinum tires, which are crap compared to the scorpions but they wear like rocks. Tread is still going strong after 40k.
As someone thats ran dedicated snow tires, they won’t impress you in snow and ice. The stopping distance in snow/ice is not much better than a standard all-season. Also, after the second season in snow (Michigan) even though they had 7.5mm tread the performance was really lackluster, maybe this is because of heat cycling throughout the summer making the compound harder? It was a fun experiment, but I’m Definitely going back to swapping seasonal tires. Nothing replaces true snow tire grip. Also, they are not very quiet, or very efficient. Saw about a 8% drop.
