Yesterday, we installed a set of Maxxis Arctic Trekker WP-05s on a 2018 Mitsubishi Mirage G4 SE (175/55R15) heading home to Idaho after a long road trip. Knowing how grippy the tires are, they're capable of tackling harsh winter roads, like the Coquihalla highway or the I-90. Plus with over 23,000 miles on the odometer, the all seasons were wearing thin and losing grip on icy roads. I wouldn't be surprised, considering how packed the trunk was. Not to mention the G4 was carrying three to four people on board.
Since this is the second Mirage I worked with (the first came in for a synthetic oil change on an as-scheduled basis), I want to ask any Mirage owner which winter or all-weather tire you're using on a daily commute in winter. And since the Maxxis WP-05s are also available in 165/65R14s, would you consider buying a set in those sizes?
