Tires MICHELIN or BFGoodrich
Crossclimate2 tires are really really good.
They're wild since they not only have superb snow traction, the dry traction actually is close to summer touring tire levels of grip.
The trade-off is rain. Still above average.
The most wild thing is I installed mine at 27,000 miles 3 years ago. I'm at 77,000 miles (50k on the tires) and Costco told me they measured at 5/32.
That means I'll get 70k miles out of these tires. Way past the 50k warranty.
I have a Model 3 Performance and I drive it like I stole it, these tires hold up to abuse.
I picked up some 18” Aeros and threw some 235/55/18 104V Michelin CrossClimate2 tires on them. It’s preeeeeetty good. Haha came from the stock 19” Aeros (I think they’re tempest?) on the stock Continental tires.
-Efficiency is nearly identical, got 265wh/mi cruising the highway at roughly 75mph.
-Ride is actually STIFFER. Totally shocked me haha
-Sound is identically quiet/loud, except at low speeds around 10mph where you can hear the tread pattern howl
-Picked up all the benefits that come with the CC2
I've been very happy with my Michelin CC2s. Pretty quiet in the summer and good so far with last week's snow.
I swap my tires for Michelin X-ICE. I keep chains in my cargo box but have never needed them.
I've been using them in the last 3 seasons. Michelin cross climate 2. They wear out bit faster but those tires doing great. No slipping, good control during snowfall. No problem on sludge roads but a bit weak on ice.
Look at Michelin cross climate 2. Will still qualify for your winter tire discount on your insurance, but not annoying having to swap and store tires twice a year. They perform absolutely fine in the winter snow and slush. Tread life and noise are excellent on the cross climate 2s. I've driven in serious snow and they perform extremely well.
If you have to buy tires for your car, most Michelin tires are made in Canada. Just bought some snow tires for the car and went for the Michelin X-Ice.
I swapped my G80 from PS4S to PS4AS in early October, which lets me send it on the \\~75% of winter days that are dry and cold, but no snow or ice.
pilot sport all season 4 on 22 MYLR. The tires are slightly narrow for a 255 width but work fine. They grip better than original Continentals so steering feels tighter. Also don’t be surprised to see higher power consumption. I reset trip 2 when we put tires on and through 5156 miles are averaging 303 wh/mile.
I replaced them 2 years ago with a set of Michelin Primacy Tour A/S. I’ve been pretty unhappy with the Michelins from the time I got them…I think the Yokohamas rode better and were quieter
