They’re great tires but I will say that they are REALLY loud. Noticeably louder than the Defender 2s that they replaced. Noticeably louder than the original CrossClimates that I had on a different car.
Or even a snow rated all season tire, like a Michelin CrossClimate 2. I have these on my AWD crossover and have been able to navigate lake effect snow with little to no issue. Maybe an occasional bit of oversteer, but very controllable.
The Michelin X-Ice Snow isn’t quite as aggressive in deep stuff, but it’s way more consistent over the years, quieter, and usually lasts noticeably longer.
My vote is for Michelin Cross Climate 2 on an all wheel drive in the Suquehanna Valley area.
This and the Cup 2R are just one lap wonders. They're great if you want to set the best time in a time attack/qualifying event but once they overheat, you lose a lot of grip.
My Legacy is a bit heavier and automatic, for that I went with Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires for snow capable year rounders. They're absolutely amazing, not too loud in summer, very capable as a snow tire.
I have an AWD SUV and I'm getting my four Michelin X-Ice's put on Friday. They have saved my butt numerous times out in rural parts of Bucks county and in Philly too.
I live in Brooklyn and purchased the IS350 AWD last year and use the Michelin pilot sport all seasons and I've had no issues.
Im running Michelin MXV3-A 195/60/14 on Bottlecaps and I’m more than happy. As someone said it’s reproduction of an old tire from 80s and 90s so it’s a nice touch as well.
Michelin cross climate 2 if you want long lasting AND to keep the same tires on all year long
