Tires MICHELIN or NITTO

This is why I always buy the best possible tires for any car I own. Unfortunately that really hurt last week when I spent $2500 on a new set of tires (Michelin Pilot Sport S 5).

About 30-40k miles. I just changed to Michelin LTX M/s for a second round the first set got me 85K miles. I’m hoping these ones last the same amount of miles.

I second the Cross Climates. I have them on my NX and they\u2019re the best tires I\u2019ve ever had.

I swap wheels/tires twice a year running summers on the stock wheels and winter Michelin snow/ice on 17 basic black wheels. Car handles snow in New England like a dream.

Alpin 5s are awesome. Never an issue in as much as 4-6" of snow.

If you have issues with your current tires, consider getting a all weather tire like CrossClimate 2s.

the Ariya the best upgrade over the mediocre factory tires is the Michelin CrossClimate 2 (EV-friendly sizes) they handle the weight and torque way better, ride quieter, and you’ll notice way less range drop compared to cheaper options.

I ran Alpin 4s and 5s on my F80. Upstate NY, drove through some pretty sketchy road conditions completely fine

They'll suck on hard packed snow and ice and anybody who says they are the equivalent to a snow tire is dead wrong. But don't take that as they are bad, they are still good, just not what people hype them up to be during the winter.

I've been selling tires for two decades and I've never driven on a set of X-Ice tires I've liked. Continental Viking Contact 7 & 8's are great, as well as Bridgestone Blizzaks, have always performed better in my opinion.
