Tires MICHELIN or Nokia

i just went from 235/55 Wildpeaks (my 3-season tires) on the stock 17x8-inch rims to 215/60 Nokian R5's on 17x6.5 rims for winter on a lifted VB. My weight per corner went from 54/lbs to 41lbs.

I just tried it and the steering feels lighter; it tracks better on the highway; and it's quieter.

Switching from Michelin Primacies (road tires) I really expected some compromises in terms of on road performance, noise, comfort, and MPG, but so far, these are actually as good if not better all around so I’ll be keeping them.

I have Nokian WRG4's on my 2015 Honda Accord and it feels glued to the road. I have been using it as my ski vehicle the last couple years and it has performed great with those tires.

This isn’t true and I’ve had much better experiences with non Tesla Michelin pilot sport 4 all seasons with longevity increasing to twice as long as the hankook ions Tesla gives you and range being the same.

Nokian , which is a company from Finland, makes excellent "all weather" tires if you live in areas that get snow. Basically a tire that is good in the snow like a snow tire but is made to be left on all year. Yokohama is a Japanese company that makes excellent tires at a low to mid price point. My wife's van needed tires badly and our budget was tight at the time, so I ordered some $77 each "Crossmax" tires from Walmart and I've been pleasantly surprised. They've been on the van 2 years and no complaints.

My experiences with Michelin have been great. They last well enough to make the higher initial price well worth it. They work quite well in the wet, which is when you especially need them.

Michelin cross climate all season work well. I read on them, supposed to work nearly as well as a winter tire.

Michelin Xice are amazing winter tires, and unlike blizzaks (almost as good when new), the michelins are still great in the snow and ice near their end of life.

I currently have michelin pilot sport all season 4s on and they are at 6/32nds. And they are not very good in the rain. Is that because they are worn or is that what i should expect from them? I'm worried with winter coming now that they will really struggle in any snow. I've always run all season tires on my cars and I've been fine but I'm now worried after driving these in the rain today. Is there different all seasons I should look at getting or just new michelins?

The OEM tires - Michelin EnergySaver AS - are great for efficiency and pretty bad for everything else. Went through two sets, and both were consistently bad in rain and snow. One of the tires on the second set got ripped on the *sidewall* as it hit a pothole, and I found out later that the sidewalls were indeed a bit of weakness for them.
