It looks like like my girlfriend wants to buy some snow tires these week. We won't be installing them until December though. We narrowed it down to the Michelin X-Ice or the Goodyear UltraGrip Ice WRT. Now I see America's Tire locally have the Hankooks I*Cept Evo W310 in stock. The two former are T rated, and the Hankooks are V rated. The Hankooks are $170.00 a piece, and the Michelins are $160.00.
My girlfirend drives 70 miles a day, all highway. For the most part, we get a solid 3 months of rain in the winter, with temps down to mid 30's. We do get the occasional ice storm or snow storm. We also usually get a week a dry cold weather in the 20's.
So I was looking at a snow tire that would perform better in the cold rain and not slush or heavy snow. The Michelins look to be the best for this condition. Now that I see the Hankooks are V rated. Im thinking these will be better for highway speeds in the cold rain?
These will be going on a Chevy Cruze, 215/55/17's
