I decided to try out Michelin x ice snow tires this year. They’ve been great. My EN with these snows is much better in the snow than my previous forester with all seasons.
2020 Elantra SEL with the Kumho TA31s I currently have 64,700 miles on the stock tires… So far they’re good tires I think.
I replaced my 21 Elantra OEM Kumho tires at 25k; although, they certainly could’ve gone a while longer but I had recently moved north and they weren’t cutting it in the snow.
Put some Michelin CrossClimate 2’s on it and haven’t looked back. Great tires.
Anyway, on my 2022 Elantra Hybrid Limited, I replaced the stock wheels and tires with 15" aluminum wheels and Yokohama Avid Ascend GT 195/65R15 to improve ride quality and durability (pothole resistance).
The Contienental tire, conti pro contact, has performed well in everything I've thrown at it. Not a great replacement for winter tires, but has handled all of my driving.
When I was buying my tires, I did a ton of research and narrowed it down to Bridgestone Blizzak and Michelin X-Ice. I ended up getting the blizzaks and they're really awesome, so quiet and extremely effective. I wasn't just looking for a snow tire, but also one that performed well on slush (because Toronto ????). You'd be good on either of these tires.
I have the Kuhmo Solus TA71 on my 2011 Elantra, and so far they seem to be outstanding tires. They're extremely quiet, and have good traction in dry/wet weather. I've yet to experience that hydroplaning or slippage feeling in the rain. These tires also help out handling and steering. On-center feel is much better now.
