Tires MICHELIN or Vredestein

My mini cooper (FWD like your Prius) is a beast in the snow with winter tires. WINTER tires, not just all seasons.

I have a 2009 Nissan versa (fwd) that I've driven through all kinds of Canadian winter weather. With Michelin winter tires it handles just fine.

I drove my dads SUV 4.5hrs last night on the terrible roads. Brand new Michelin tires helped a ton.

Looking for QUIET comfortable tire with excellent all weather performance. Tread life not a concern.

Primacy has excellent ratings. Defender rated slightly below but has longer tread life.

Past noisy experience with noisy V tread designs (Bridgestone & Goodyear) discounts CrossClimate.

Alpin 5s are great snow tires

Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 is the way to go. In my country they have been tested and one of the best tires. They can have high mileage before you will have to replace them.

I live in northern Vermont with a 2021 RWD Standard Range +. I take the car skiing almost every weekend. I never have issues. It does much better than any front wheel car I’ve ever owned.

Stick with your Vredesteins. I live in the Great White North and swear by the quatrac's. You're not going to find a better value tire.

I have had these tires for a little over 2 years and they have been great, but unfortunately they\u2019re needing replaced at 45,000 miles. I am a bit disappointed in that - I don\u2019t feel they wore very well and I am consistent with tire rotation/oil changes. Curious if anyone else has experienced early wear on these tires? Or is it expected to have to replace them this soon? From what I read I was expecting at least 60k miles\u2026

I have them on my old Toyota. Worst tires i ever had. 4 years old, 45000 kms (28000 miles) and sides looks like on 10 yrs old tires. Barelly 4 mm threads. Etc.
