Hey all,
So last winter I kept my all seasons on my 9-7. Needles to say, with it's awd system, the two functioned terrible in the snow. Fast forward to now, I purchased a set of Cooper Discoverer M+S tires. Fortunately it hasn't snowed hear yet, so I can't say how they function in the winter weather. However, I did take them on a 2000 mile ride down from NY to TN. As for highway driving, they performed well, keeping in mind it is a snow tire. Believe it or not, the mpg was nearly the same from my all season which are the GoodYeard Assurance Fuel Max. I was averaging 19.0-19.7 MPG going 70-75 MPH. The tread on the Discoverer's are pretty intense. Hopefully they function well in the snow. From my research on the 9-7's, snow tires are a must during the winter season. I have two pics for you guys, and I'll let you know how they work.
