I've been happy with all-weather (different from all-season tires) made by Nordman or Nokian tires. I use Nokain WRG4s. They are great for wet roads and some snow, but can have issues if the snow gets really packed down and slick. I find my tires maintain their thread life fairly well although you'll get less cumulative life out of them compared to switching between summer/winter tires.
I had R3s on my previous vehicle (Tesla M3) and they were fantastic...I can only imagine the R5s are even better. They made a HUGE difference here in the Dakota winters.
Can verify this as true and correct! It is a stupid and hilarious machine in the snow. Mine is on Nokian R5s and I look forward to the snow each year.
You can get a good all weather tire with 3PMSF rating for less than the CC2s. See Vredestein Quadtrac Pro, Falken Aklimate, and Altimax 365AW. All of these will be cheaper than the Michelins but will provide long tread life and good performance in snow + cold temps. I put the Quadtrac Pros on my mom's Impreza a couple years ago (Chicagoland area) and they've been great. So much better than the Firestone FT140s it came with from the factory.
On the truck I have some Vredestein Pinza AT tires which are quite beefy and snow tire rated but also pretty smooth on the highway.
Best winter tires Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5, Continental VikingContact 7/8 but after third year I felt they lost little ice breaking power, Pirelli Ice Zero were also good to me.
I put Nokiian 1's on mine, love them! Plus, it's an 80,000 mile tire (lol probably means it's good for 40k). It's a very high rated Euro tire
Vredestein Wintrac Pros on OZ racing wheels. Under 2k for the set. Fun when it's dry with a 170+ top speed rating. And grippy on ice and snow. I run it 99-98 percent of the time.
Apparently they perform well which must be true since their winter tires are very popular where I live too. It is just the quality of the material itself that's awful.
Tires are low quality , made in Russia where no natural rubber found to make. Drove 1 day after replacement on unpaved rd . Tires are bubbled. Had to replace
