Heads up that the geolander AT XD yoko I put on this season is the most underwhelming 3 peak tire I have owned. I wouldn’t recommend to even a person I don’t like.
I hate when that happens. I had one set of tires on our old Outback that pretty much disabled the car when it snowed.
Just use the other hand
I think I like the winter set better:

I feel the same except the colors are reversed on my GTI.
Black pretorias with the summer tires are fine but they aren’t really my favorite wheels.
Silver Sport Edition generics with the winter tires, but I much prefer the spoke pattern.
Pro tip: measure the flat part of your center cap (probably 67mm) and order these stickers: https://3dcarstickers.com/product/vo...k-background-/ will make the wheels look OEM. Mine have lasted 5 winters and still look good.
Extremely happy with the Michelin Cross Climates on my Jeep GC.
I just ordered some new 245/45/18 Hakkapeliitta R5 to replace the current 4/32 Hakkas on my Audi Allroad.
I considered trying some Blizzaks, but got a great deal on the Hakkas, so I'll stick with what I know and trust.

I've been running the Scorpion winter 2 this season, driven stupidly over snowy roads with really no slippage. Would recommend
To keep them purty wheels from corroding spray with Boeshield T9 or Mercury Corrosion guard ( for outboard power heads )
I even did my steel wheels cuz they get looking pretty bad from rust and there is issues swapping them
Hakka 10s like velcro, 12/10 would sex

For non winter specific, General Altamax

what is a non winter specific snow tire?
Picked these up for my Outback last month to replace the garbage OEM tires. So far so good but only light snow so far, no heavy snow or icy conditions. Think it's a good compromise as I ran performance (middle euro ) winter tires on my Audi before this , and most tests show these having similar levels of snow performance . We shall see
There’s a new genre of tires, Michelin Cross Climate, Pirelli Scorpion Weather Active, etc that are all season tires with three peak snow designation. They have a “softer” rubber but not as soft as snow tires, and very aggressive geometry. These features allow them to be good in snow yet run year around.
I have both and I’ve been very happy with them. Not the same as my Nokkian Hakka’s with studs but close.

I have the Cross Climates on my GC and studded Hakkas on my wife's Q5. I prefer the CC's 98% of the time.
If the roads are really bad, we take the Audi. The only problem, I feel invincible and tend to drive more aggressively.

There is an entire thread about ALL WEATHER TIRES.
I’m trying to recall the website that is helpful to find various car makes and models with the same wheel size, hole pattern, and offset. For instance, it helped me figure out that some model years of Prius would work in my matrix.
Any complaints about nordman North Nine model tires?

Have had a few months now of challenging winter driving on Hercules Avalanche TT LTs on my RAM1500. I expect any new winter tires would do the job, but these were very well priced (CAN$1600, installed) and they’ve been flawless so far.
Thanks. That’s what i was looking at earlier when I posted my question. I don’t think I explored the site enough.

I just saw this article about snow tire pressure https://www.jalopnik.com/lets-solve-...-a-1851737240/
Could have just listened to me
