Tires MICHELIN or Nokia

I went for the X-Ice on our car and mini-van. No complaints 3 winters in on both.

Few years ago I switched to Nokian Hakkapeliitta and I don't think I'll ever switch. I have them on my F150, a 4WD full size SUV and my little car and I've never had a problem. I live in the woods with a super long driveway and my wife is on call sometimes and has to go to the hospital in all weather conditions, she's never had an issue even when the plows get pulled off the road.

Big fan of the X-ice Snows though

I have used Michelin X-Ice and they are great.

I’ve had very good luck with X-Ice over the years.

I have the Nokian Tyres WR G4, year round, and they have been great!

I ran their all-weather Remedy WRG5's last winter on my stock wheels and they were BEASTS. I HIGHLY recommend them if you live somewhere that gets mild/moderate amounts of snow and consistent temps below 40°F. They can be ran year round, but I like more grip during summer

The Michelin PA5 is also an excellent tire.

I drove on mine up to the base of mount Seymour a couple days ago before the plow started clearing the road. However I made it fairly easily to the first parking area and had to park as I wouldn’t make it to the lodge parking. Made it down without issue too. On fresh snow I found them a bit squirrelly but nothing too bad.

The problem is that Nokian tires, which used to be very good before 2017, have had a tremendous fall in quality.
