Best Snow performance in an all season tire

spacemanspiff · 01-01-2021, 07:48 AM

Any recommendations for the best high performance all season tire? I’m looking for the best snow performance in a 245/40/18.

Might want to repost this in NESIC or NWIC rather than TXIC

And also ask a question that can be answered. Everyone will tell you the best high performance all season tire is going to have **** high performance compared to a non-all season tire. And you can't ask for the best high performance and then say you're also looking for the best snow performance... The best snow performance is going to come from a snow tire.

I think Michelin has designed a new all season tire that comes stock on the new corvettes. Look that up, I'm sure it will be the best.

Michelin is usually the highest rated for pretty much any tire.

Only category I can't think that it excels in is Off-Road.

But then again, I guess it does since BFG is part of the Michelin family of companies.

According to https://www.car-engineer.com/technic...buy-right-now/ :
1. Best Ultra High Performance: Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+
This pick is for drivers of high-performance cars who are looking for a tire that can keep up with their right foot even during winters. This pick does not come as a surprise to anyone. When introducing the Pilot Sport A/S 3+ back in 2016, Michelin mentioned how their Helio+ technology provides 28% more snow traction compared to its previous generation. They also touted their Variable Contact Patch 3.0 evenly spreads the pressure across the contact patch for better handling and increased tread life. This tire is proof that Michelin walks their talk.
