Winter tire choice feedback
So as life would have it I'm heading to Boston. Having grown up in Syracuse, snow capital of the universe, we grew up driving RWD cars in the winter because, well, there wasn't any other choice.
So now I'll be trucking with the the CLS63PP and going to give it a run.
Was considering two brands and was hoping some of you would have some helpful feedback first hand or otherwise. Both look highly rated.
1) Nokian WRG2 (or the new version as I think these may have been discontinued)
2) Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4
Would love to stay with original tire size without going a little narrow in the back but ultimately, I'd rather keep the car on the road.
Will do some traveling between Boston, Providence, and CT.
May have them shipped to my buddy's garage in Syracuse so if you know any good deals out there, let me know-
Appreciate the feedback as always-

Syracuse huh? I spent a good amount of time in Lafayette visiting my grandparents....both of my folks went to college at Syracuse
can't speak to any tires except Michelin......I have always been happy with the quality and longevity......I had some all seasons that were nice.....then again I don't live in the snow capital of the universe

I just had a 4-square setup mounted up with Pirelli Sottozero II 255/35/19 on 8-1/2" Mandrus rims. I have used this tire on my last two cars with great success. They run very nice on a dry road as well.

The Pirelli's were the other option that seemed to get decent review Big Hank.Where do you live? Similar snowy climate like the upper NE?
Hyperion, LaFayette can have it's own challenges when the snow flies!

It truth however, most anywhere in the country, the roads get plowed pretty quick so it really boils down to cold temperatures and a thin layer of snow or ice.
If it's really bad outside, stay home and enjoy the day!
