Trying to get ahead of this situation so I'm not scrambling in November...
I have been perfectly happy with my OEM Winter Sottozero. But after three winters, they need to be replaced. Is that still a good buy or is there something better out there? Range is really important to me as I don't have a heat pump and I see significant range reduction in the winter as it is. Other than range, I want the best tires for what can be dicy, New England, snowy cold winters. Not really concerned about the cost as it's just too important to save a few bucks. When I replaced my summer tires, I did a ton of research and just bought the OEM MXM4, which many don't like, but I'm fine with. So I guess you could say I'm not looking for performance tires, just reliable, efficient, smooth, quiet tires, as much as that is possible in the winter.
