Tires Falken or BRIDGESTONE

I’ve run both KO2’s and Blizzaks for the winter on my truck and I travel to the mountains regularly. I fully recommend spending the extra money for a proper winter tire set. The KO2’s weren’t bad, but its night and day compared to the blizzaks

Falken Wildpeaks. 20k miles so far. 3/32" wear. Quieter than factory Pirelllis.

As for tires I would recommend 2024 stock for better brands like Bridgestone. Chinese tires will cause noise and easily a 10% drop in fuel economy. I've personally experienced this.

In California I use Falken Sincera.Cheaper than some and just fine for NorCal.

I have a 2013 sport, live in Michigan and just put Falken Aklimates. An all weather snow stamped tire.  Just had my first snow rip in them today and they hook up nice. A little louder than my previous tires (tiger paws).

All about the Blizzaks. They make driving safer, but also FUN.

I was considering the blizzak6 which are available in my size for both front and rear but might be overkill for most of the rest of the winter and likely counterproductive, so figured all seasons might be for the best. Choice of all season tyres is very limited, especially for the rear size, pretty much down to All season contact 2s but there’s a lot of feedback online about how they don’t feel particularly responsive on the front when steering which has me a bit concerned, so was thinking maybe of going cross climate 3 sports on the front and all season contact 2 at the back.

Not only will they not hold up, they suck in every category otherwise...sound,traction,comfort.

The factory Falken tires on the Cx90 PHEV will not wear well and you will be lucky to get 10-12k miles outta the new tires.
