Tires Cooper or Vredestein
I live in Minnesota and got these for my Model Y in August 2022. We have 50k miles, two Midwest winters, and Im buying a second set to replace them now. I could MAYBE get another 5-10k miles but I dont risk it here.
i just got a full set for my 98 honda crv, 215/60r16. about 50 miles so far and they are great ride smooth, pretty quiet, and have good grip in the dry. I think they feel a little dull with center response with steering inputs when going slower, maybe less than 30mph. I have yet to test them in the rain, i havent quite pushed them to the limit in a turn yet but near the limit they feel good and feel like they will continue to grip has you push them harder.
i ran those coopers for like 5 years they’re great, very little to no noise, doesn’t hold onto rocks and good wet traction. i started using them when it was a 3s and when they switched to the next gen 4s wet traction significantly improved. i did some dirt driving and a lot of snow driving in deep snow for hours on highways. great traction on dirt and snow, especially for the money.
CO driver, have about 500mi on a set of Cooper Road and Trails, very happy so far
i have been running the Quatrac Pro on my WRX for a couple years now and they're awesome. The Vredesteins are very competent--excellent traction both wet and dry, quiet, and rated for high performance. Good wear, too
Happy with them so far, 1K miles in. Quiet, dry and wet grip for days, decent rolling resistance. Great for warm/hot climates.
Vredestein Wintrac Pro, Tire Rack sells them.
I just got a 24 mach-e and will be buying these, I live in Michigan. Had a set on my wife's Explorer and they were grest. Online reviews are great and they are also cheaper than all comparable competitors. Do your own research to be sure but I was very happy, so much so that I'm going to buy them again for my Mach-e. They are also rated as a performance tire.
As someone who was a parts manager at a dealership and worked with these tires. The Pro control would be your best option. Second would be the Endevors. These two are good for warm weather and wet driving, If you live where it snows they would be ok for Light snow ( packed snow and ice they wont work).
I have a set of Cooper 225/60/18 snow tires that grip really well, but I don't like the way they drive. The skinniness makes turning feel loose, and it feels like the car is going to flip (though it definitely isn't).
I'm disliking mine. Could have been a suspension problem initially. But at 65-75/80 the steering wheel shakes. Still travels straight, but the annoyance of seeing/feeling it shake is terrible.
