The great white north here. Excellent traction in snow, and pretty good on ice. The benefits in wet and dry traction over normal winters for the times when it's not extreme conditions outweighs having dedicated winter tires. At least where I'm at.
Also there are better summer tires out there, I recommend the Michelin pilot sport 4s or the new Continental that recently came out, they have amazing performance and last a long time.
I would also recommend looking at the Nokian one and Michelin defender2.
The michelin defender 2 is rated for 70 or 80k miles, and is generally very quiet.
Upgrade them to michellin pilot sports all season worth every penny. More grip for that torque!
If you run 17 inch, go for 215/45R17. Get the Michelin Pilot sport 4s or 5, Goodyear Eagle F1 Asym 6, or Conti Sportcontact 7/extremecontact (depends if you're in EU or US). Those are the best allround tires you can get. 215/45 offers a bit more contact and a bit more comfort
I swapped my 22" Pirelli Scorpions with the 22" Michelin Defender MS/2 115H. The ride is much more supple, and they cost far less than the Scorpions, while the efficiency is nearly the same (within .14 kwh/mi).
Michelin Pilot Sport as4 or whatever the current version is. Darn near summer tire grip but with all the benefits of an All Season. And they still manage to have a tread life mileage guarantee.... I've been through many a set.
Weather peaks have garbage treadlife. CC2 is obviously a top contender. I would go CC2 for true all weather or WRG5s for better winter performance and slightly worse summer performance
I have a set of PS4S’s that I have on right now. I find the Michelin’s to be horrible in the rain.
