Hi everyone,
I am looking for advice on a tire purchase. I have a 2007 Nissan Armada and am currently running Michelin LTX MS2s on my summer wheels (20") and am looking to buy a new set of tires for my winter wheels(18").
So far the MS2s have been great although I have never run them in the snow.
I am debating on getting the MS2s for the winter wheels or Cooper Discoverer AT3s.
I really want an aggressive looking tire, but I do not want to sacrifice comfort, mileage, or noise. The AT3s seem to be good in those areas but it is hard to tell from the reviews I have read. Snow performance is important as is the ability to handle potholes (the latter of which will likely be more prevalent as the roads are usually clean by the next day in NY where I am located).
Can anyone offer the pros / cons of these two tires for winter driving?
The MS2s have more siping which apparently is good for wet snow, however the AT3s have larger lugs which is good for evacuation.
What to do?
