Tires SUMITOMO or Nokia
I just took off a set of Nokians due to getting dry. They were rated for 50k miles, I had 85k on them and they still had 6-7/32 of tread left. Never a traction issue even in snow and ice, even in weather where I had no business being out there with a front wheel drive vehicle. So they checked all the boxes for me. Quiet with good traction, extra load on many models and a great overall tire.
Check out the Nokian Tyre One. It has Aramid sidewalls, low rolling resistance, and 80k mileage warranty.
I tried the Nokian Outpost AT, and I don’t think road noise is bad at all. They’re 3PMSF too!
My winter SE tyres are nokian WR G4. These have a good balance of grip, life and rolling resistance. They are a little down on the stock UHP summer hankooks in 80+ weather. But in PA, they're likely a great all year choice.
these Sumitomo HTR Enhance WX2 have been solid and cheaper than Michelins
I got these for my RL and have no regrets . Super quiet, excellent in rain and snow. I will only buy Nokians for my vehicles.
I can't find a detailed review of the Nokian One, but I have good experience with Nokian winter tires. They're comfortable and have great traction.
I'd go with the Nokian WR G4, which is an American all-weather version of Nokian's European performance winter tire, the WR A4. So it's basically a mild winter tire that can be used year-round.
I have the 185/60-13's and the sidewall is super flimsy as well. I couldn't complain on the price though!
Not a fan of Nokian, they slip like crazy. I have some of their all seasons on my RX350 and they are like hockey pucks, just sliding everywhere.
