Tires Toyo or Nokia
If I could find these tires again id buy them, i have them on a 09 impala and used them for more than two years and had better than normal wear, my summer tires last half these winter tires.
Late last year Toyo had a special running at my local Firestone store. My company told me how much I could spend. With the special I could afford tires I wouldn't have even looked at before. I tell you what. My little CX5 rode as good if not better than my Large Acura MDX. It's so smooth and quiet it threw me off the first long trip I took. I've had them for 5 months/25k miles and they feel as good now as they did when I bought them.
Nokian tires are great.
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!
For good budget tires that last over 2 years and have ok performance for the weekend enthusiasts… Toyo Extenza HP are the way to go…. Had mine For 2 years and still have meat…and much quieter than the Nexen….
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 agree with the Crossclimate II review. Had them for 2 winters now, and they grip just as good as the Toyo observe GSI5 winters I had, while being quieter and smoother.
I'm at 7/32 at just under 20k miles on the stock Toyo's. Will likely swap them out this winter for something a bit more snow/ice capable, though they weren't awful this past year.
Nokian tires do that. All of there winter and summer and 4season tires through the last 10-12 years are known for devolving cracks through the outer layers. There summer tires I-line would crack all along the threads in 3-4 years.
