I bought a FWD minivan that the previous owner put Goodyear Comfortreads on. Despite still having 7/32 left traction is pretty bad in the rain and not particularly good on dry roads either. Not a very comfortable ride either, rubber seems hard and possibly has flat spots for the first 5-10 miles after the vehicle has been sitting for more than a few hours.
I’m looking for a tire with very good dry and wet traction, and at least decent snow traction as driving in a few inches of snow may sometimes be unavoidable. Probably going with the Crossclimate 2, but not sure if should go with the H or V rated. Most tests/long term reviews I found used the V rated and often describe the ride as being on the firm side. I was leaning towards the H rated to maybe get a slightly softer ride and longer treadwear. However most of the retailers around here are out of the H rated so it worked out that I found a significantly better deal on the V rated. Is there a noticeable difference in ride comfort and handling or am I overthinking it?
I also looked at the Crosscontact LX25 but sounds like the sidewalls may be a bit softer than I’d like.
