Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA
I have Michelin CrossClimate 2 on my civic and it does pretty well in the snow (within reason)
51,515 on my AS4s on a MYP and they are still going strong. Awesome tires
I run all-seasons, but I still have very high performance ones (Michelin CrossClimate 2) that have a better than average rating in snow for all-season tires.
I'm a fan of nokian (hakkas, and also Nordman North), but I've also used Goodyear (ultra grip), Firestone (Winter fire/Winter Force), Bridgestone (blizzak), and most recently Michelin (x-ice snow, made in Canada - elbows up!), and they've all been excellent.
My current one is an 18 with Michelin cross climate 2s on it. I have to intentionally make it slide in order for it to happen. I think there has been one instance that was not intentional.
Got them on my model 3 (2020) and changed my Michelin pilot sport 4. Great grip but ooh wow what an extra road ( humming) sound. That\u2019s the only con I experience.
I have Michelin cross climate on plaid and I drive like a lunatic currently at 38k miles and i think I have 10kish more miles left i think.
But in your size the Michelin CrossClimate2 would be my pick.
my experience is that summer tyres provide _significantly_ more grip in the wet than CC2s. If you get ice and snow, CC2s are great, but they're not very good in the wet.
They're also not particularly quiet. I put them on my XC90 and found them to be very droney at anything over 50mph.
I have them on my cx5, I live about 45 minutes from buffalo and I can say with the inch and a half of snow we got the other day I wouldn't have much faith in them. Between almost hydroplaning on the expressway and sliding around on my way to work I ended up getting some snow tires and put them on for the up coming winter weather.
