Tires

I have a 2022 EQS 53 AMG that came with 275r35/22 Yokohama Advan summer tires. Tried driving in light snow and it was horrible even with snow mode enabled. Since the tires are getting low on thread I am thinking about swapping them for Michelin Pilot Sport 4 all season EV tires. My question will it be a noticeable difference in light snow? My wife's SUV has Michelin Pilot Sport 3 and it drove excellent in the light snow never any drama.

This video shows that an AWD car on modern all season tires should do well in snow.

Definitely you should not drive summer tires in snow or below 40F. PS AS 4 is better than summers, but it is not the best choice for snow/ice as an AS tire. It is maybe the best AS tire in dry and wet, very close to summer tires... I didn't test them in snow as I switched to Pilot Alpin 5 winter tires after sliding on morning ice after rain... 4x4 doesn't help when 4 tires slide on ice until you hit a dry patch...



Tiretrack winter test for Michelin is similar to tyre reviews test above:

Tiretrack tests are done in the same track loop, so putting the stopping distances with same car gives a good comparison:
