I'm reading about a lot of early failures and the warranty seems to be crap. Only seems to cover issues, like noise and roughness, found in the very first bit of use. No real coverage for failures as far as I can tell. But I can only read so much fine print, I will admit.

And their winter performance seems to be sub par.

Anyone have experience with them? What's the go to tire(s) I should be looking for?

I dread the cost of both new all seasons to avoid failure and new winter to survive in Michigan. This is my daily driver.

Thx
The LS2's are garbage, IMHO. I believe your stock tire is a 245/45. IMHO you would need a dedicated snow tire/wheel combo to be safe. a 245 wide tire, IMHO, is a little wide for snow driving. If you get little/light snow a good all-season should be OK.
