Tires Nokia or OEM FORD
Have a look at [nokians outpost apt](https://simpletire.com/brands/nokian-tires/outpost-apt), should be cheaper than all 3 of your options and it’s also higher temperature and tread wear rated at 700AA vs 620AB, 600AB and 600AB, (tread wear #, traction grade, temperature grade). It also has nokian’s aramid Fiber reinforcement
I was in the exact same boat...I would have preferred the CrossClimates but went with the WRG5 based on the Nokian pedigree and other recommendations for my '18 Accord Hybrid. Yesterday, I drove through some pretty snowy and icy weather in New Brunswick and Quebec. Tires handled like a champ!
something like the Continental DWS 06+ from April until November and a dedicated studded Winter tire like the Nokian Hakkapellitta 10 for Winter is a really great choice.
I had nokian wrg4s on my subaru before selling the car my gf has michelin crossclimate2s on hers, both are excellent.
I’m a fan of Nokian WRG4s
We put them on our 2018 XT this year, studless. Been pretty good so far. The -30C we've been getting in Calgary lately though there's still some slip on the hard sheer ice but no way I'd want to try regular all seasons!
I have the Ones on my 1997 Toyota Estima Emina and they're great. Nice steering response and like Nokian's other all-season tires, they do great in the wet. I also appreciate the aramid (kevlar) sidewalls.
Best tires I've used in order are:
Nokian Hakka r3 (r5, r10, r8)
As for the WRG2's - had them for less than two years. Rotated every 6500 miles. Very noisy starting at 18,000 miles and down to the bottom wear bars after 23,000 miles. There was no way they were going to make it through another winter. No treadwear warranty from Nokian. The Entyres are quiet and the ride & handling are very good. I only wish they had just a tad more grip in the Chicago snow, but overall I'm very happy with them.
Will NEVER buy Nokian tires. They crack on the sides and they don't stand behind them.
