What are the best snow tires for year-round use?
it’s my first winter in the Northeast and I know there will be some snow eventually. What are the best snow tires I could keep on my car year-round?

There is no best snow tire for year-round use. Snow tires are only intended for—you guessed it—snow and winter weather. If properly maintained, they should last four winters, but if you try to use them year-round, they might last a year—an expensive purchase no matter how you look at it.
But if you want an all-season tire that keeps you
safe in the snow
and in all other types of weather conditions, the best tire for year-round use just might be a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2s. With stellar reviews across the board, these all-season tires go from summer road-tripping to snow beast with ease.Some of the best features of Michelin CrossClimate 2s include:
- Lasts up to 15,000 miles longer than similar tires
- 60,000-mile warranty
- 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake rated—one of the best ratings for any tire, but one that shows it can handle snow, ice, and winter weather
- Available in 89 sizes
- Works in mud
- Quiet operation
- Stopped an average of 56 feet shorter than the competition on wet pavement
