Hankook Tires

Hankook Ipike for winter, put these on an AWD car and your almost unstoppable in the winter, sloppy handling and like every snow tire get noisier the more miles you put on them.

Pros: unstoppable in winter
Cons: sloppy handling, get noisier

MICHELIN Tires

Installed these on my EV6. They’re pretty great in the snow (also in CO). Expect a 10-15% hit to your range

Pros: great in the snow
Cons: hit to your range
Vehicle: Kia

Rating 4.0

Just installed a new set of Michelin CrossClimate2 all weather tires to tackle the upcoming Colorado winter. Ride seems a bit more firm, in a generally good way. Seems just as quiet on most surfaces, and from prior experience with these on my other cars, I know the trend to get a bit quiter after an initial break in period.

Pros: ride seems more firm

Hankook Tires

If you want good ones but not pay premium price, go for second tier brands Nordman (Nokian), Kleber (Michelin), Firestone (Bridgestone) or Hankook (independent).

Last time I bought tires they were Hankooks. Came 2nd (or something) in a test by Tekniikan Maailma.

Pros: good, not premium price

Rating 5.0

Adding my experience here too: I miserably struggled with those CRAPPY Turanzas on my Turbo 3 for almost 4 years, and I finally had them swapped out for Pirelli AS+3's. As crappy as Turanzas were throughout this time (leading to multiple replacements), I'm only now realizing in comparison how utterly awful they really are!

Right off the bat, steering is so much more nimble and smooth, I probably put half as much effort into steering now. Traction is worlds better, and the car runs a lot gentler, too. Don't get me wrong, 3T is rough by nature, but now it's gliding over the same bumps and humps compared to the death shocks from Turanzas (which by the way, got exponentially worse over time). There's a lot less understeering with Pirelli's now, and interestingly, MPG shows signs of improvement as well. So, count me in love!

Pros: steering nimble and smooth
Cons: crappy Turanzas
Vehicle: Mazda 3

NITTO Tires

Nitto Motivos. They came with the car so I can't compare. I'm sure they're nowhere as good, but seem like a good value based on the price. They skip just a bit on a hard launch even when warmed up. Good in the summer. I live in S-FL, so no experience with winter roads. I did some racing on a cool night and broke loose coming out of first. Pretty good on wet roads for the most part as long as you don't do any racing.

Pros: good value based on price, good on wet roads
Cons: skip on hard launch

Rating 2.0

I had off brand wan-li winter champions on an AWD car years ago, these tires came with the car. Traction was fine, stopping better in the winter. Noise and road comfort was awful. At 110-120km/hr, they were super loud and sucked driving with them on.

Pros: better stopping in winter
Cons: noise and comfort awful
