leftoverture Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Just got some new tires mounted up. The old Hankooks were pretty badly worn and with winter knocking on the door, it was time. Went with Falken Ziex ZE960 all seasons. So far I'm very happy with the choice. The Falkens are a good mid-range price point with a 65k mile warranty. They ride smooth and handle better than the Hankooks. We're supposed to get up to 5 inches of snow tomorrow so I may get to explore the winter handling sooner than expected.

Not entirely unusual to have some snow this early. We already had a bit last weekend. It won't stay around long and will mostly melt on contact with the ground because the ground is still pretty warm. But if it comes down hard & fast enough, it could make the roads pretty slick.

Viking Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I put Michelin Cross Climate tires on my Z last winter, and was pretty happy with them. I rode on them all summer as well, as they are a Four Season tire. Nokia makes one as well. I ride a motorcycle most of the summer so did not wish to bother with two sets of tires is why I went with the Four Season style. I live in a part of Ontario which is even more northerly than Minneapolis. leftoverture 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftoverture Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 I can tell you I am very happy with how the tires performed. We had 5"-6" of heavy, wet snow by the time I drove home from work. My commute is 30 miles. Most of the drive was on packed, ice covered roads. Quite a bit of deep slush when changing lanes. The tires took it all in stride, handled very well, and stopped very well. No sliding or loose feeling at all. I like them so much I think I might put a set on our BMW also.
