My Michelin all seasons have worked well for me for 43 years, even in the
Michigan UP, and certainly very well here in NC, including Raleigh.
'Haven't had any "winter/snow" tires since I left Lincoln, NE, in March,
1960, during a blizzard.

When is he buying these tires? Winter tires are significantly worse on dry
or wet roads than summer tires. They also wear out much faster. I've run
winter tires in the summer and its decidedly un-optimal.
Is his Pilot AWD? I'm with the others buy the best all season tires he can
get and plan on staying off the road in inclement weather. That last part,
staying home, is probably the best snow driving advice anybody can give. Too
many fools are buying SUVs so they can get out in the snow when they should
really be staying home.

They are worn out and his mom (my daughter) wants him to get some good
winter tires since he's a Florida boy and not experienced with ice/snow
driving.

Time for another tire string?
Very young grandson is working in Raleigh and needs winter tires. Can
some of you folks who live in that area suggest a brand, type, etc.
that would be best for a 2011 Honda Pilot? Also, I remember from
several winters back that nearly "everyone" agreed that a certain
tire made in (Sweden?), (Finland?) or another Nordic country was the
absolute best snow and ice tire. It was very unusual to see nearly
everyone agree on a tire discussion.
Thanks,
Gerry
