Tires Nokia or COMFORSER
I am looking at the Nokian Tyre One All-Season for my 18" wheels also. Both Kyle and Consumer Reports say they have good (low) rolling resistance. They start with 11/32 in. tread, vs. the Primacys with 8/32 in. They are warranted for 70,000 miles, vs. 45,000 for Primacy. Noise and comfort are rated good by Consumer Reports.
The first winter I had my current car, I went out and bought a set of generic steel rims and Nokian Hakkapeliitta's. Expensive but oh so worth it.
I also have the Nokian Hakks as mentioned by others.
Studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9, give them their own rims, 4-5 years of always being able to stop, going is easy, it's stopping that matters.
I’d also recommend the Yokohama Avid Ascend series as a good all season, and the Nokian One (it’s a new tire, I’m running them on my fiancé’s car right now and while they aren’t the quietest, if you’re not a car buff they’ll be perfect for you)
I’m running Comforser CF1100 33x12.50R20s, great on and off road, no noise, great price and the tread pattern is close to that of the BFG all terrains. Balanced out easy as well
On my work vehicle ( 2011 Ford Escape AWD) studded Nokians.
I'm a fan of Nokian WR G4's for year round use. We loved them during our MN winters and enjoyed that we could keep them on all year.
I had a LOT of luck with my Nokian hakka R9s this winter on the LX470, but it's a studded tire. the x-ice were quieter but that's possible due to studs. As of now, I would highly recommend Nokians.
I personally know they are trash. Great advertising, poor engineering. Stay clear of Blizzaks and get Nokian.
