Re: snow tires
Randy,
Do you run those Primacy Alpin's all year round, or do you swap them out for summer tires?
I see tirerack.com offers them right now for CHEAP. I am just wondering whether it would be OK to use them year round, or get some steel wheels to mount them on.

I would expect that the rubber is too soft to run them in the warmer weather. I would imagine they'd wear pretty quickly if you did that.

Re: snow tires
I have ran Nokians on all my vehicles for many years, all year round, and have had no issues in dry, wet, or snow conditions in upstate NY. I currently have the Nokian WRs on my Grand Cherokee, Acura, and TCH. On my TCH, I obtain 38-40 mpg and in the winter around 34-36 mpg. They are winter / snow rated (mountain and snow flake symbol) and are designed to run year round. They have deep treads with many sipes, but very low noise. Good luck in your selection.

Re: snow tires
It has now been about a month, 15,000 kms on vehicle, running 0w20 mobi one, previous best tank was 5.3/100 km and yesterday I got 5.2/100 on a tank, outside temperature about 48-50 F. I have tire pressure at 42/40 as these are xl tires with max pressure of 51 psi.
Overall I am quite impressed with these michelin winter tires.

Re: snow tires
Not an issue for me - they don't provide it for the TCHs sold in Canada (grumble, grumble).

Re: snow tires
Hmm... Can you verify that you actually have the sensors, or is this just what your dealer is saying? I think one way of knowing is if you have the re-calibrate button which I beleive is in the glove compartment. My dealer says that no TCH sold for the CDN market has the TPMS.

Re: snow tires
on the canadian model you can see the place where the button is supposed to be in the glove box, however it is blank, I have also verified this by removing my tires from the factory rims and they are standard air stems.
Sorry not in Canada at this time.
