Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA
I bought Michelin Cross climate 2 tires 3 years ago and they solved all my traction problems.
I run yokohama geolander X-AT286/75/r18 34.8in tire on my 2019 f150 fox 2.5 preformance 2in level. Very quiet and ride amazing. Kicks ass offroad too.
Yea any E rated tire is going to suffer on ride quality. I’ve settled on Michelin Defender ms2s. They come in a 275/65/20 - 34.1” P rated tire. Gives me the taller stance I like but are not an aggressive looking tire. Ride quality is fantastic.
Michelins all year round for me in Kent UK. It’s great.
Michelin pilot sport 4s are a step above the nt555
I've ran PS4's in Cali too, I think they're worth the price. Ever since I switched to Hankook all-seasons, I miss the PS4's every day.
Michelen X-ice for my XC60. Now I crunch everywhere I go but necessary in this environment.
Will be same here in a few weeks, except Michelin X ice on steels. They kinda look small on the truck to me compared to the XLT wheelset but they ride good. If you have AWD, you will really be loving it in the snow. FWD is serviceable, but can slip going uphill if I have to stop. Torque steering in deep snow too, I have to apply constant corrections. AWD should be much better. There is an efficiency hit with the softer rubber, but low temps make a much bigger impact on mpg I think. Not a worry really, just the cost of doing business.
It will probably settle out to a 10-15% range loss. I went from 230 > 260 wh/mi (only about 2k miles on them).
I had to get rid of my Michelin Wranglers after 25k because they kept getting rock punctures in them and then I had to get them plugged. After the 3rd rock I decided to switch
