Cooper Endeavor Plus vs Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra vs Continental Crosscontact LX25

[edyvw]

Just went on discount tire website and they do not have Continentals, they have
MichelinDefender LTX M/S245 /65 R17 107T SL BSW
PirelliScorpion AS Plus 3245 /65 R17 107H SL BSW
BridgestoneDueler LX245 /65 R17 107T SL BSW
NittoRidge Grappler245 /65 R17 111T XL BSW

Any of these are worthy?

Thank you, do Contententals handle light snow or ice. I'm not going skying but here in the PNW, we do get frosts.

During our blizzard in January we got about 12 inches of snow. Backing out of my garage with my FWD Maverick, it went right thru the foot of snow and the drifts. Mo is your friend. After getting to streets that were plowed but still snow packed the LX's were superb. Great traction and good consistent braking when needed.

In the race to the bottom, yes, LX might be better than other bad options in snow.

What's with the attitude? How's that Michelin stock doing? Not to good I assume since your pumping up the Michelin's. The LX-25 are superior to the Michelin tires that came on my 2018 F-150, they were pretty decent. IMO YMMV

It is not attitude. That kind of tire suck in snow, whether it is Michelin or Continental.
Whether it is good or not is perception.
Someone reading your post might think it is actually tire to have for snow conditions.
By the way, I have Continental right now on Sequoia, but one that is actually good in snow.

The last time it snowed a foot in KC was more than 10+ years until the current blizzard. NO I would not recommend these in the Snow Belt states. But at 35-40 degrees latitude non-mountainous the LX-25 and other in the same class are sufficient tires for the area. I know I drove through all the blizzard had to offer and they performed admirably on a FWD truck, especially in the gray slushy snow. No they are not for Colorado in the mountains. That's a given.

People read this forum. From Colorado or Minnesota. So what appears good in KS, in some states is recipe for future high insurance premiums.

Late to the party yet again, but I have a set of Cooper Endeavor's on the Camry. They provide ample tractor for most situations, but on my application are pretty noisy. I did notice they quieted down when I did an "X" pattern rotation. However it might be vehicle dependent as we had a '15 Camry that had pretty bad road noise with two different brand tires. The Cooper AT's on my truck are dead silent ironically enough.

I use cross climate 2s in the winter and lx25 in spring, summer and fall. I paid $1k for the Michelins, $600 for the continentals and prefer them 2 fold over the cross climates. Dead quiet, normal gas mileage and a much improved ride. I’m trying to wear these Michelins out so I can install the pro contacts I have in waiting, and then use the lx for winter. I can’t comment on those Bridgestones, but do have turanzas on my sedan and have been very impressed by them
