Yup. Michelin Anakee Wild. Gotta stud them yourself but they're 3PMSF
I have Michelin Crossclimate 2's in the winter. On those days, I don't have to worry about the tires running or wearing like shit. I could leave them on year round if I wanted, but they are a little squishy and squirrely. And, while full bore winters they are not, they're 3 peak rated and still pretty damn good. I could swear they don't wear at all either.
I switched over to the Michelin Defender LTX on both vehicles after wearing through original tires and they too have been great in snow.
I have a 2023 Rogue and absolutely love it. I'm at 24k miles and the only issue I have has been with replacing the tires. The factory installed tires wore out fast. Replaced with Michellin Defender 2s and hope they'll hold up a very long time.
I have the Michelin cross climate tires now and they went through a mild winter fine. I did drive through a winter storm last year, slowly & made it to my final destination. I feel pretty good about driving through all weather.
Got the cross climate 3 sport on my v60 and it's a huge difference. Even tho I went from18/19" to 20" now the Michelins are way quieter then the original Continental tires.
After research I'm going for normal Michelin Cross climate 2. I'm in the mountains of mid Wales so snow isn't even guaranteed but it can be here for a few weeks. And there will be frost and ice. In the past (on my ICE cars) I have gone full winter tyres but I'm not sure the bother of changing them twice a year is worth it for me. And EV specific definitely isn't worth the extra.
I'm open to other suggestions though.
Tires make a night and day difference, especially in EV’s where you have more torque. I went with cross climates, and took a 5 percent hit on range, but the traction it gives during rain is worth imo.
Have firehawks on a C5, PS4 on a C4 GS. Both are fine for street driving. I certainly can push the C4 WAY harder but how hard you drive is a huge factor. The PS4 is also way susceptible to flat spotting if the car sits (mine do)
My old pilot sport 5s tires were downright dangerous even with light snow. Forget about ice entirely. They are too expensive and wear too quickly for the 1% of time they are truly useful.
