Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA
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).
I personally use and love my Yokohama Advan Fleva v701s. They do fantastic in Florida rain, I've never even skid—no clue about the snow though.
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.
put on pilot sport 4s now.
The OEM Geolanders that came on my '18 Crosstrek were the best tires I have ever owned and I always purchased Michelin or Continentals. I went back to Michelins because the Geolanders were 20% higher. The Michelins are no longer the benchmark of tires.
Michelin PS AS4 handle much better & can take light snow as well. Getting noise complaints on CC2 as they wear plus my Costco installer tells me they throw rocks.
I recently bought 17" wheels/tires from Tirerack (Michelins) and they feel great on my 2024 GTI Autobahn. I really don't like the stock 19" wheels.
Also have had General Altimax on a Subaru that were fine as well as Michelin X-ice on a BMW x-1.
Had the legendary Michelin CrossClimate 2 on my HiHy. They sucked in the heavy, wet snow that I drive in, especially when it's 4" deep or more... the tires just spin (Nokian WR's do better in this regard). Need to put into Trail mode to get unstuck. They are suited for after the plows come through.
