Tires MICHELIN or Nokia

The one proviso, buy good tires. I have All-Weather Nokians on my Forester, world of difference.

I run all-seasons, but I still have very high performance ones (Michelin CrossClimate 2) that have a better than average rating in snow for all-season tires.

It runs Nokian Encompass AW01s which are a 3MP snowflake rated all weather tire and it's been really good in increasingly mild Wisconsin winters since 2022.

I'm a fan of nokian (hakkas, and also Nordman North), but I've also used Goodyear (ultra grip), Firestone (Winter fire/Winter Force), Bridgestone (blizzak), and most recently Michelin (x-ice snow, made in Canada - elbows up!), and they've all been excellent.

My current one is an 18 with Michelin cross climate 2s on it. I have to intentionally make it slide in order for it to happen. I think there has been one instance that was not intentional.

Got them on my model 3 (2020) and changed my Michelin pilot sport 4. Great grip but ooh wow what an extra road ( humming) sound. That\u2019s the only con I experience.

I have Michelin cross climate on plaid and I drive like a lunatic currently at 38k miles and i think I have 10kish more miles left i think.

If you don\u2019t want to switch out and have 2 sets of wheels I\u2019d go with Nokian remedy wrg5

My $1200 Michelin ice-x tires wore out faster than my inexpensive $600 Toyo tires and the travel experience is EXACTLY the same.

when you put all seasons on it i.e. Michelin CrossClimate, you will feel weird vibrations when driving above 60 miles.
