Tires MICHELIN or Falken

If you get a decent amount of snow, go for cross climate 2. Road noise is a bit higher than others but they are good in snow. I got caught in a nasty storm and they were great.

Have about 2-3 foot of snow in Eastern NC today (still falling) and snow mode did fantastic on my WK2 with Wildpeak AT3W’s

If you want to stay with the existing 22" wheel setup, I would talk with your favorite tire store about changing to 305/45R22 for the rears. The tire width will decrease from 12.6 to 12.0 and tire height will increase from 32.2 to 32.8, but you will have more options for all-season tires. Specially, the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 is available in both 285/45R22 and 305/45R22 and is a very good tire.

This year got some Michelin cross climates. It is unbelievable.

I mean I really pushed it for fun and it had 0 issues. Great awd.

I put Falken Aklimates on the 20's on my baby mom's. They are beyond awesome. I had to go to work this past Sunday during the worst of the snow (we got 14" by that evening when I left) and it made it through without a hiccup.

Can't recommend them enough.

We have crossclimate2 on our Leaf and they are excellent. Summer driving are a little louder than the oem tires. When our Ariya is ready for tires, they will be a contender.

Cross climates are excellent, had many sets in my accord hybrid, but be prepared for a slight range hit. I haven’t run the pirelli scorpions, but from what other folks say the performance is solid, not cross climate level in the snow, but competent. However, they are quieter overall.

We put cross climates on my wife’s CX-5 here in CO. Like them a lot.

I live in Belgium and had the cc2 mounted last fall, the tire shop said i had to be careful with them when going to the south of Europe with these in summer because they have clients who have them and after a while driving in summer in spain/ Italy pieces break off the thread. (Also in combination on heavy cars) also the cc2 added 10-15% of fuel use on my car.

I have the older E-primacy and they're awful. So stick with the standard version.
