Tires Nokia or GENERAL TIRE
I had the general altimax on my old Lincoln LS. They were great and would go again if I need dedicated winters.
I have the generals. All day today, I was like wtf is everyone driving so slow. Plenty of grip, predictable and balanced slip. A literal joy on a -40 day in Edmonton.
Nokian One. They are cheaper than top tier tires with the same or better ratings. They have a 80k mile tread wear warranty, reinforced sidewalls and great grip in the rain. I live in the PNW and have had them for only a couple months but I highly recommend.
Mine is a beast with Hakkapeliitta R3 snow tires.
Ran the 365AW on my Forester & found it to be a competent tire for the freak weather events that happened before/after the winters being on.
I have nokian outpost all terrains on my rig. I love the way they look.
Recently picked up a set of general altimax 365aw for my 2013 XV. They seem to handle rain fantastic and seem to be well lugged/siped for snow. Not a dedicated snow tire, but better than all seasons!
I ran them for the past few years in PA winters. Not a single issue. Love them.
Running Nokian Hakka R2 on the CX-5 and Vredestein Wintrac on the Focus same as last year. Usually don't swap until Thanksgiving though. On a related note, I think these are the last dedicated winter tires I'm going to buy. I've been running two sets for 10 years now and even in the snowier years, I don't feel like it's been worth it in this part of Ohio. The new All Weather tires seem like they've done a good job with snow/ice, yet still keeping dry/wet traction to decent levels. I've got my eye on the Michelin CrossClimates going forward.
I've been disappointed overall in the tire.
