Hey Folks,
We're getting to that time of year again - gotta consider winter tires for my MY LR. I'm interested in hearing what people have been using in the PNW - our snow tends to be heavy and wet and turns to ice quickly, there's lots of rain to deal with the rest of the time, and we have high mountain passes and ski-hills to get to! Snow on the prairies can be much dryer and colder, snow out east can be very deep - I'm sure certain tires are better in certain regions.
I had Michelin X-Ice tires on my previous car and really liked them, although slush performance was marginal. I was considering the Conti Viking Contact 7s - they seem really well reviewed and Nokian has some new EV specific snow tires (R5 and R10), although they might be too new for any experience to have accumulated.
What are y'all running this winter?
