What are the best snow tires for Honda CR-V?

I recently found out that I can get a discount on my car insurance if I use snow tires. I’m planning to shop for new snow tires soon and wanted to know what are the best snow tires for my Honda CR-V?

Snow tires not only help lower your
Honda CR-V insurance cost
but will also give you peace of mind when you’re driving on winter roads!
Here are some of the best snow tires for Honda CR-V:
  • Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2: Tread compound and design give vehicles a great grip on slippery roads. However, driving engagement on dry roads is sacrificed.
  • Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV: Offers exceptional grip on icy and snowy roads and has great water and slush evacuation.
  • General Altimax Arctic 12: This is a winter tire with optional studs at an affordable price. Even without the studs, it performs well on ice, snow, and slush.
  • Pirelli Scorpion Winter: Best price point for a set of performance winter tires. These tires prioritize handling on dry and cold roads but still have decent stability on snowy roads.
When getting your tires, check your owner’s manual for the correct tire size. The most common tire size required for the CR-V is as follows:
  • 215/70R16 tires
  • 225/65R17 tires
  • 235/65R17 tires
If you’re looking to add even more grip with tire chains, be sure to use the recommended cable type in your owner’s manual. Using the wrong chains or incorrect chain installation can damage your brake lines and lead to a collision.
