Second set of Lattitude HP have 10k miles on them and they are just terrible in snow. Even though the tread is 9/32, thinking of replacing them. First set was replaced with only 25k and were down to 3/32. Considering the General HTS or Yoko Envigor, both rated highly at Tirerack. Anyone have these on a MDX? Any experience in the snow?

 

I have Yoko Envigor on my 2010 Nissan Altima and love them.

 

Rather than replacing them why don't you put the money into some actual snow tires. Your winter driving experience will be vastly improved regardless of the brand or type of All Season you would replace the Latitudes with. The Latitudes will last that much longer if you don't drive them in winter as well.

Just a suggestion

 

But with a set of snow tires you'd have to buy the tires, rims, and TPMS sensors if you don't want the warning light to come on. Or you'd have to pay to have the tires swapped every snow season. Winter tire rubber compound is very soft and won't last long driving them year-round. I just put some of the General HTSs on my 07 MDX. From what I've read they are very good in light snow. I live in the foothills of Colorado, but we haven't had enough snow yet to get a feel for how they will handle in snow over a couple of inches. It's not very smart to drive in snow over six inches deep anyway. If you have icy conditions, a much cheaper solution would be tire chains. Unless you're forced to drive in icy conditions, I'd do the smart thing and just stay off the road until the roads are plowed and de-iced.

 

I put snows on my 2010 MDX a few weeks back and put them on the existing rims. Have had no issues with TPMS and yes its about 60 bucks twice a year to change em.....no special trips though...just get the oil changed at the same time.

 

I owned an automotive shop for over fifteen years and we were also a tire dealer. Although tire machine technology has improved a good deal in the past few years, with the preponderance of low profile tires and corresponding stiff sidewalls, a great deal of stress is placed on the rubber in the tire bead area when mounting and especially dismounting tires. After three or four mounts and dismounts, the bead rubber begins to tear away from the wire bead. If the condition begins to get too bad, the beads will no longer seal on the rim. If I spent the money to buy snow tires, I would definitely spend some extra money and mount those tires on some inexpensive rims rather than change them every season, because of the potential to ruin the tires. Most individuals who are mounting tires aren't being paid the highest wages and, therefore, are attempting to change tires at the quickest possible pace. The faster tires are changed, the more prone they are to bead tearing. With modern tires, great care has to be exercised not to tear the bead. Pardon the long-winded post, but I've probably mounted thousands of tires in my past career.
