2013~2016 Tire Choices 2014 CX-5

I can't speak for snow use because it's an all season (three season), but been very happy with my Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3's. Quietest tire I have ever used, and extremely good grip around corners. Wet has been good.

I run winter tires in the snowy months, though I kind of regret putting them on this past winter as we basically didn't have much of any snow this year.

Here in Ontario, dedicated snow tires are highly recommended in the winter months. I decided to save and bought some Starfire budget tires. For the most part, they performed well in the snow.

I guess it just comes down to how many days of the year you will actually be driving on snow or ice. I wouldn't want my tires to be holding me back over the rest of the year when you don't need additional winter traction.


Once it is time for new tires, I may end up getting crossclimates, but only because I don't have to commute and can simply stay home when it snows.

For those of you that must drive in the snow and ice even if it's just a few days a year, of course you are still better off doing what it takes to make sure your tires are up to the task, whether it means investing in dedicated snows or true all weather tires.
