Tires MICHELIN or Maxxis

update: got the michelins and Im happy with my purchase, feels a little slippy on turns but I have mostly all control unless I go faster than usual.

Easy answer: Costco membership + Michelin Cross Climates. Exceptional tires, you’ll notice them on a lot of vehicles once you know what to look for.

I drive on Michelin pilot sport 4 or 4s for summer and these are superb tires.

I wanted to report on the cross Climate michelin tires. My wife and I just put a set I'm her GMC Acadia 4 wheel 2 wheel and all wheel drive. we live in Michigan  and i have to say they are by far the best tires I've ever tested in the snow.

I had the old x Ice 3 then now have the x Ice snow. For sure you maybe pay a bit for name brand but so far I really like them Quieter, seems to me better in the deeper snow then the older ones too

I have the cross climate 2 and they are fantastic for light snow and ice.

I have Michelin CrossClimate and Maxxis Premitra, been happy with both, maybe slight edge to the Michelin.

Michelin cross climate 2. Not a snow tire but rather “all weather.” Great handling in dry, wet and snow. My first set I got about 60K on and I only replaced them this fall because its ability in the snow was fading towards the end (which is normal).

Had these same Michelins on a FWD car. If you never plan to drive on dirt or gravel roads, or in snow ice, they’re probably decent, but not awesome in heavy rain. Consider the mileage rating for Pilot vs other Michelin tires that cost slightly more because the Pilots didn’t last me long.

Don't risk it. 260kmph is already over the tires limits of 239kmph.
