Tinted windows and Michelin Defenders after the OEM tires crapped out around 20k miles were also big improvement’s.
The Defenders might be the best all season tire you can buy. They last forever and ride extremely well.
Used them for 3 years on an Explorer in New England and they're definitely worth it. Never skimp on tires or brakes.
Living in CO, I can definitely recommend the CC2. Fantastic treadlife and handles really well in wet/hydroplaning to moderate snow. It’s not as good on ice as a dedicated snow tire but not bad at all. Personally, I haven’t noticed it being too loud as others have complained.
You can get a good all weather tire with 3PMSF rating for less than the CC2s. See Vredestein Quadtrac Pro, Falken Aklimate, and Altimax 365AW. All of these will be cheaper than the Michelins but will provide long tread life and good performance in snow + cold temps. I put the Quadtrac Pros on my mom's Impreza a couple years ago (Chicagoland area) and they've been great. So much better than the Firestone FT140s it came with from the factory.
Depends what you need them for. They are very surefooted in the wet and good in snow (for all seasons). Definitely a bit loud so that’s the trade off. I love them for where I live. The continentals and Mich Primacy’s I had previously are much quieter but lacked the same level of wet grip
BUT THEY WERE BOTH AWESOME RUBBER, AND YOU COULD DRIVE STRAIGHT UP ANYWHERE
Pneumatici invernali.
Beh, non necessariamente "costosi ", ma non lesinate sul prezzo per risparmiare magari 15/20€ a gomma.
Perché quando vi capita la neve seria sulla strada vi salvano la giornata.
Mi è capitato in Germania con delle gomme invernali di merda (debica) di fare un 270 in uscita da una rotonda presa piano con 2cm di neve.
We put a set of these on our 05 XC70 last year. 11K miles later they are down to 4/32 - 5/32. The tread wear is indeed terrible on these.
Horrible tires. I have had 2 side wall blow outs with these tires, one on a very busy highway, late at night and almost got unto a horrible accident. Avoid these tires at all cost.
