All-Weather tires
Does any run all-weather tires on their 2-series (especially xDrive versions)?
On my past two cars I have run three sets of tires/wheels. UHP All-Season, Winter performance and track tires. That said last year I put All-Weather tires on our Honda Pilot and have been 100% satisfied with them (Michelin CrossClimate 2). I run all-season tires as my base tire, as we have huge shoulder seasons here in Colorado putting you at risk on summer tires. Thus I'm kind of debating if I go the all-weather or winter route in the coming months. A big benefit of the all-weather option is that I don't have to buy a second set of wheels, but I'm sure a big negative will come when I eventually replace the OEM tires (Pirelli Cinturato P7) with UHP A/S tires. I'm guessing the All-Weather will be at best on par with the Pirelli in the summer and will get crushed by the UPS A/S tires. I'm all for saving money, but tires are literally where the rubber hits the road, so I tend not to compromise there. So if anyone has experience with All-Weather tires, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how they perform both during the winter and summer.

Thinking of getting Nokian WRG4 or Bridgestone Weatherpeak tires but don't know what to do about my current set of summer wheel/tires.
Anyways, Michelin CC2s are the best in class for dry handling. Closest you can get to a summer tire without having a summer tire. There are better options for ice and snow though, and a dedicated winter will obviously be best. |
