Michelin x-ice 3. Great tires. My fwd Nissan never got stuck this winter, and trust me, Alberta winters are brutal. (I'm talking like a foot of snow on the road) it was good on ice too, this combined with ABS, made slippery surfaces manageable.
So,I think the Michelin X-Ice Xi3 is the best winter tire for drivers who travel regularly on snow-packed or icy pavement. The Xi3 rides quietly and comfortably, and owners find it extremely durable. In professional tests, it gets top marks for handling.
general altimax arctic 215/50 r17 - 2005 Subaru sti - Nebraska winters - such a great tire, i almost wish i could have more fun when I'm our playing in the snow...
I put on A/S 3s about 3 weeks ago, 235/50R18. I am more than please. They are silent, and the ride is so much smoother than the factory Pirellis. Almost fells like I don't have sport suspension. Traction and stability are superb. Stopping on rain soaked roads is as if the road is dry.
I have been running Generals for a few years now. The Exclaim UHP was replaced with the G-Max AS-03 a few years back. They have served me well. Longevity is not great, but traction per dollar has been good.
My Michelin Alpins were outstanding in the snow
I am a bit partial to the Michelin over the Goodyears in terms of the overall comparison of the tires. Granted, you lose on the fuel economy but you get a better all-around performing tire with comparable ride quality to the Goodyears.
I am currently running a set of studdable (but not studded) General Altimax Arctic tires. They are phenomenal in the snow. A tad loud at 80+ on the highway in the dry, but very good overall in the wet/dry.
Primacy owner here. Not sure about other Michelins, but these tires have a sunflower seed oil coating that improves the overall grip. Driving around corners you immediately notice the grip and extra cornering speed. For performance and overall economy, these are the best tires i've ever owned.
We put Primacy MXV4's on my GF's Kia Forte and love them.
