Tires MICHELIN or Nokia

I went with Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 -- they're decent.

Have had Hakkas on three prior vehicles as they've been my go to for years. Fantastic tires! Wanted them on the S3 but when I saw them in store I was shocked by the softness of the compound and was worried about treadwear.

Nokian Hakkapellitas if you've got the budget for them.

Blizzaks never failed me on my FWD Volvo V70 in the Rocky Mountains. Made it up Wolf Creek Pass in February through at least a foot of snow

I run 225/40/18 Michelin XIce3 in my 2018R. I bought OEM 18inch Audi BBS CH wheels from a B7 S4 which fit perfectly.

IMO Michelin LTX M/S Have been the gold standard for SUV/LT highway tires for a long time now. Recently they've been discontinued in favor of the second iteration that just came out.

I also have a set (of the V1 tires) on my 2018 GX460 and they have been flawless.

At the time we replaced ours, the major need was traction in wet and snowy weather as the base tires just sucked in the slightest amount of weather. So we got MICHELIN CrossClimate2 tires and they’ve been great for corners, rain, snow and basically everything the low rolling resistance ev tires sucked at.

I've rode Michelin commander III's for years. I've consistently got around 12-15k out of a set of tires and been a daily rider for years.

Michelin Commander 2. I just replaced on an Ultra Limited after 24,000 miles. Went with Commander 3 this time: only 3,000 on the 3's so nothing to report yet.

I have Nokian WRG5s on mine. The first set lasted 89,000 km - right to what they were supposed to. The new ones are rated good until 100,000. I've only got about 15,000km on these ones so too early to tell but tread depth is good.

Used these on my explorer. Had to replace 3 in the first 3 months. After that, had no problems for 4 years. Had some on my f150, and swapped them for some nitto grapplers and wished I didn't. 95% of my truck driving is on the freeway. They are just so loud and the mpg is 2 to 3 mpg less. The defenders did so much better in the snow on paved roads.

I've got to be the only person on earth that didn't like these tires. Worst traction I've ever had. Maybe I got a bad set? They were load range E and wore like iron, I was kinda upset I couldn't justify replacing them with something else.
