For less money you can look at the Hankook RW11 i-Pike or the Cooper Weather-Master WSC.I suppose it could have been much worse, so I should have been thankful. The Bridgestone is the class leader in this size. In this size consider these premium tires: the Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1, the Michelin Latitude X-Ice Xi-2 or the Toyo Observe GSi-5. You will get better traction and the tires cost much less. If you intend to keep this vehicle for any length of time, I would seriously consider downsizing to an 18 inch winter wheel and tire package.

It works in the snow but is happiest on pavement. The Scorpion is more of a high performance winter tire. The Winter Carving will work best for you if snow and ice are the main driving concerns. In your OE size there are just two winter tires available for consideration, the Pirelli Winter Carving and the Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snow. Your Grand Cherokee has rather large tires. You will have to go for dedicated winter tires. Where can I find 20 inch all-weather tires?Ī: I don?t know of any all-weather tires in your size of 265/50R20, if by all-weather you mean snow-flake rated tires that can be left on the vehicle all year round. Like some other new vehicles, it came standard with 20 inch wheels fitted with tire pressure monitoring and all-season tires. Q: I am the owner of a 2013 Grand Cherokee Overland. However if you are willing to take the risk of a flat, the Michelin X-Ice Xi3 is the hot ticket, followed by the Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice WRT. It is nasty changing a flat tire or trying to inflate a flat with tire goo at the roadside. Since the Mini is OE on run-flats, I'd be inclined to stick with them for winter. Unlike the regular Blizzak, this high performance model does not turn into an all-season tire after 60% wear. The Bridgestone Blizzak is a good all round tire with emphasis on ice grip. Of the three the Pirelli is the best handling on cold wet or dry pavement, in terms of sportiness. I don?t like run-flats at all but if you have to have them, the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-60, Michelin Primacy Alpin PA3 and Pirelli Sottozero Serie II are all good winter tires.

She stays around the GTA? lives in Richmond Hill, works Dufferin and 401 area? so are snows necessary?Ī: I actually like the three winter tires available in run-flats. We are trying to find a good solution for the Mini ? regular or run-flat. Since Mini (BMW) has gone into run-flats all around I?ve tried exploring those and haven?t liked what I?ve seen. Q: My daughter bought herself a Mini Cooper S and is looking around at winter tire options.
