Platinum Contributing Member SnowRider Posted January 1, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 1, 2021 Always had good luck with ‘Tire Rack Reviewed’ tires where they compare 4 sets of tires on their test track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member Stephen Hawking Posted January 1, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted January 1, 2021 Only tire i have experience with recently is the continental cross contact, have them on the wife's taurus and they were very good in the snow last winter. I have a different continental model on my explorer but I run dedicated snows on that. Absolutely no complaints on the continental brand. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been happy with every set I've ever bought from them. Just put Continental CONTROL CONTACT TOUR A/S PLUS on my wife's van. 80k mile rated and they have good traction in the snow. I never put on a winter tire, just an all season or all terrain that is rated good in the snow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I had the nokian wrg tires on the old Outback. At the time the tire dealer said that they were the best all season tires for snow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnstang Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Michelins are absolutely the best quality tire there is. With that said I have no experience with that specific model. I haven't had a personal vehicle without dedicated snow tires in a very long time. That's the only way to go, I have no time for bullshit all season tires in the winter and there is no down side other than storing an extra set in the off season. Extremely small price to pay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been running them on the convertible since like 2011. Dang good tires. I dislike most all season tires. Run whatevah in the summer and throw on the Blizzaks when the time comes.

Michelina are good too. Had a few sets of those over the years. Spendy tires though. Only tires I won't buy now is Goodyear. My truck has some kick off Pathfinder All Terrains from Discount tire that came on it when I bought it. Even those are pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely small price to pay Put Blizzaks with dedicated rims on the Camry for winter. Unbelievable how much difference they make. Take off 18” low profile and put on 16” with Blizzaks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 We have Michelin Defenders on wifes AWD Durango. They are excellent tires in every condition we have driven it. And are wearing like iron. For a wifes/daughters vehicle I feel great about them. I dont know anything about OP tire but Im sure a severe snow service rated tire from Michelin will be very good in snow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I put a set of BFG Advantage T/A’s on the wife’s old Jeep Grand Cherokee last year. They seem decent. Not as good as a full blown winter tire but better than a basic all season. That said, my work beater Grand Prix has two sets of wheels and tires. All seasons for summer and Michelin Ice Xs for the winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Jackson Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 The severe service rating is a plus. The only potential drawback is that they're a relatively new to the market tire and pretty spendy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
