I run Blizzaks all winter on 18" wheels. I ended up with those because when I bought the vehicle in Nov 2015 I asked for snow tires, because Alaska. Well, the dealer didn't have any in 20", in fact the whole town was sold out of them. The dealer made us a deal with new wheels and snow tires in 18". It has been handy, my husband swaps them in the driveway and I'm only on my second set of Blizzaks.
On our second set with the Honda Pilot. Best tires ive ever owned. We live on the side of the mountain in Chugiak and drive the icy highway all the time. Deep snow, glare ice, no problem.
Not having to do seasonal tire changeover ever again is so nice
Get some CrossClimates great snow ready all-seasons. I had them on an AWD car when I lived on a rural island in the PNW. We had no snow plow except the neighbors little john deere.
In September I switched to slightly narrower and taller Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 in 265/50R20, and they have been awesome. I’m now about 5000 miles in on the Defenders and have tested them in every environment this car can safely go. We drove from upstate NY to CO at fast highway speeds and they were great, felt better than the stock tires. We have been in eastern Idaho for a month and have done every fire road I can find between here and western WY and southwestern MT, and they have been flawless. We got snow overnight and into today, so I hit the dirt roads this morning and they were again flawless in mixed snow / gravel / mud.
The Michelin LTX AT2... Less void to rubber ratio than the BFG AT TA KO2 means it will be quieter, less susceptible to cupping, have a longer tread life, and still retain it's grip and clean out capability for snow and mud. I sold dozens of sets of both and had the opportunity to observe their performance over years.
I put snow tires on my stock Mitsubishi Evo wheels for a weekend in Tahoe. All season tires didn't work, but wow the Bridgestone Blizzaks were magic even on an AWD 400 hp car
For snow, winter tires are much more affective than AWD on all season. Even the cheapest set of winter tires will outperform summer/all season
Cross Clikate 2. They are comfy and quieter than the Michelin Defenders and Primacy.
CC2 has better grip all around especially in snow, it just might be more noisy and not last as long.
I've burned through two sets of front ps4s, each set lasted two track days in a Porsche 718 Spyder. These were my first two track weekends ever, so I am a novice (likely overdriving the tires).
