Tires Pirelli or Falken
I have Perilli Sottozero IIs on my clubman JCW. They’ve been good to me.
I have those on my magnetite gray sport with stock wheels also! About 15K on them and they’re still amazing. Great in the snow, quiet, no walking.
Switched to A/T3W’s on my ‘20 TRD OR after running KO2’s down to min tread (18 OR previous). I will say my current Wildpeaks are way better on wet roads, equally chunky in snow/mud, but too soon to judge on longevity, my KO2’s lasted forever, but so far I prefer the latter, including the price.
Live in Minnesota had the Wildpeaks and they did great on the rain and snow. I wanted a more aggressive look so switched to the Duratracs and they were just as good performance wise.
Have had these same ones for about 2 years. Great tires for the snow and just about anything. A little cabin noise, but nothing terrible.
I run pirelli sottozeros and they are a great mix of grip and performance
I had these on my Forester and loved them. My Crosstrek needs new tires and can’t wait to get these!!
I got 40,000 miles on the stock Falkens including snow and ice with conservative driving. Replaced with Pirelli Cinturado Strada "all season*"225/50/r17 from Discount tire for slightly larger tirewheel and wider tire (1/4" more clearance, a liffle more float in sand) but mostly the 70,000 mile warranty. I calculate (by gps and road markers) this gives me about 103% on miles (ie speedo reads a bit low) and I can feel the lower torque vs before. Def a harder compound than the Falkens, so I dont drive as aggressively in corners.
In formula 1 the extreme wet tyre is so bad that they basically only use two types of tyres, and try to get onto the inters as quickly as possible in wet conditions.
mine lasted easily 30-40k miles but they sucked the whole time. i once got stuck on slight inclines where there was a stop light because it was raining. didnt even set off aggressively but the wheels just spun on me, it wasnt cold or anything...just slightly wet.
