My $1200 Michelin ice-x tires wore out faster than my inexpensive $600 Toyo tires and the travel experience is EXACTLY the same.
Pros: travel experience is same
Cons: wore out faster
Just did the same switch myself and it’s the best ever.
Pros: excellent performance
I just bought winter tires and went for the Michelin X-Ice snow tires. We'll see how they work out once the snowy weather gets here, but they've been well reviewed.
Pros: well reviewed
Has great luck with the Michelin x-ice. They last forever, and they offer good ice grip even though they have no studs.
Pros: good ice grip, last forever
The first number is the width in millimeters, and the second is the sidewall height as a percentage of that width. So a 235/45 has a 106 mm sidewall. If you drop to 235/30, that shrinks to about 71 mm. The rims will handle it fine since the width stays close, but it’ll affect your speedometer and gearing.
When your original 45s show 120 km/h, the 30s will actually be doing around 109 km/h. The annoying part is your odometer will climb roughly 11% faster than the real distance you’re covering.
Edit: smaller sidewalls also mean less grip and a harsher ride. The contact patch shrinks a bit, so while you’ll lose traction, you might enjoy how much easier it is to kick the rear loose if that’s your thing.
Pros: handle it fine, easier to kick rear loose
Cons: affect speedometer and gearing, less grip, harsher ride
I run Michelin X-Ice Snow winter tires. They grip really well, while not being so grippy that you can't do some snowy parking lot shenanigans lol.
Pros: grip really well
Cons: not so grippy
Michelin Platinums homerun for me! They have a great side profile similar to Pirelli but the tread is great and absolutley dead quiet and tight road performance...seen no problem in my limited off-road treks, tho longevity, highway manners and looks were my decision priorities.
Pros: homerun, great tread, dead quiet, tight performance
Michelin Crossclimate 2 - Very good tyre
Pros: very good tyre
Cross Climate 2’s are quieter than the OEMs and are better in every measurable metric.
Pros: quieter than OEMs, better metrics
Vehicle:
Volvo V60
