I commute to DIA from the Springs a LOT, and I have the AT3s. Great tire, lightweight enough to preserve MPGs, but still does well in snow. Plus they still look pretty good. Had them 20k miles now and they're still in great shape.
I went with Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 -- they're decent.
Have had Hakkas on three prior vehicles as they've been my go to for years. Fantastic tires! Wanted them on the S3 but when I saw them in store I was shocked by the softness of the compound and was worried about treadwear.
Nokian Hakkapellitas if you've got the budget for them.
Blizzaks never failed me on my FWD Volvo V70 in the Rocky Mountains. Made it up Wolf Creek Pass in February through at least a foot of snow
I have Nokian WRG5s on mine. The first set lasted 89,000 km - right to what they were supposed to. The new ones are rated good until 100,000. I've only got about 15,000km on these ones so too early to tell but tread depth is good.
Toyo opencountry CTs all day I have 100,000 on my current set and still will last another summer, they are definitely in the upper end of price but they last and they are great in the snow/ice
I got a blow out on a pothole, Toyota towed car, i had to drive to a dealer myself to buy a Toyo and drive it where my car was, and that got me on the road
As for the ride, it is very quiet and more comfortable with the larger sidewall vs the 22. The road noise is about the same as the OEM, which is good as I moved to a more aggressive AT tread, which I expected to be louder. It is surprisingly quiet.
Toyos will last forever, after trying most of the major offroad tire brands, Toyo is all I buy now.
No but I’ve had the Toyo M/T’s. Both started cracking in between the treads after 2 years. The Road Noise was low.
15,000 KM after three blowouts. Changed them for some Toyo proxes tm1 225/45R18. So far so good, the ride feels way smoother and I don’t feel like I lost fuel economy.
