Best All Season Tires for Snow? 275/55R19 GL350
Having a hard time zeroing in the best all season tire for snow in a 275/55R19. Would really like to get the Nokian WRG3 SUV. But, not available in this size.
If I had to pull the trigger right now I guess it would be the Michelin Premier LTX.
Anything else I should consider? Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus popped up too.

2014 GL350
I have the GL350 with 275/55R19 tires. I had Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus tires installed this past July. At first I felt they were great set of tires. Now a little over 10K miles on them, I feel they aren't great on wet roads. I get a sense that I am hydroplanning on the highway and the 4matic is trying to correct and get traction back. Havent experience them on snow yet, but if I am having issues in the rain, I can only imagine on the snow.
Would love to hear feedback on the Michelins to see if they are any better.

I put the Michelin Premier LTX on the GL550 for a winter tire - (commented in the following thread):

I haven't seen much if any snow in Chicago yet, but the rain performance - both cornering and stopping - is excellent. I stood on the brakes a few times in the rain to specifically test their willingness to engage the ABS, vs keep rolling, and the stickiness when wet is very good.
As expected they are very quiet tires and a smooth ride - I'm running them at 32 lbs of pressure all four corners cold, as I don't mind a slightly softer ride over the harsh streets of the city.
