Tires MICHELIN or Vredestein

Tinted windows and Michelin Defenders after the OEM tires crapped out around 20k miles were also big improvement’s.

The Defenders might be the best all season tire you can buy. They last forever and ride extremely well.

Used them for 3 years on an Explorer in New England and they're definitely worth it. Never skimp on tires or brakes.

Living in CO, I can definitely recommend the CC2. Fantastic treadlife and handles really well in wet/hydroplaning to moderate snow. It’s not as good on ice as a dedicated snow tire but not bad at all. Personally, I haven’t noticed it being too loud as others have complained.

You can get a good all weather tire with 3PMSF rating for less than the CC2s. See Vredestein Quadtrac Pro, Falken Aklimate, and Altimax 365AW. All of these will be cheaper than the Michelins but will provide long tread life and good performance in snow + cold temps. I put the Quadtrac Pros on my mom's Impreza a couple years ago (Chicagoland area) and they've been great. So much better than the Firestone FT140s it came with from the factory.

Depends what you need them for. They are very surefooted in the wet and good in snow (for all seasons). Definitely a bit loud so that’s the trade off. I love them for where I live. The continentals and Mich Primacy’s I had previously are much quieter but lacked the same level of wet grip

On the truck I have some Vredestein Pinza AT tires which are quite beefy and snow tire rated but also pretty smooth on the highway.

I vouch for good all weather tires. The Michelin Cross climates are great (although I think at some point they’ve been surpassed now by even better)

I have Michelin Agilis Crossclimate tires on my Etransit so the truck eats tires but it just wears fast not chewed up like that.

These Michelin Primacy or whatever they are called are bad... Our car is due for new summer tires and they won't be Michelin. Michelin Corp has lost me as a potential customer forever.
