Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE
I drove my rear wheel drive Ford Ranger for many years but I had a set of Blizzaks
The Michelin PA5 is also an excellent tire.
Just did the RE71RS tires on mine and it feels fantastic, did toyo r888rs last, they’re much better then those.
Michelin Cross Climate 2 on my 09 Impreza sedan. Road noise is better than the winters I had, but I’ve heard they’re kinda noisy to some people. Wet and dry performance, especially in the hotter months is significantly better than my winter tires, and I feel much more connected to the road. Spirited drives on twisty backroads feel much better. In snow storms, starting/stopping feels amazing, like the snow isn’t even there, and I’ve never had an issue pulling through 5+ inches of snow. Making light and smooth turns has also been very good. However, I find it much easier to break traction compared to my previous winter tires if you’re being reckless, and it's harder to regain. Aggressive 90-degree downhill turns can make the back end step out. There's also a reported 1-3 mpg hit. Despite this, I would most likely buy them again.
Michelin cross climate 2’s on my 2016 Impreza sport hatch 5mt. I’ve had them for about a year and a half in central PA and they’ve treated me very well. They’re awesome in snow and the tread life has been good so far. They’re a little more noisy on the highway, but I definitely feel more comfortable driving the car in bad weather over my Jeep, unless the snow fall is over like 8 inches. Michelin cross climate 2 gets my vote!
Michelin Cross Climate 2. I don't feel the need to run dedicated snowies but the CC2s have been fantastic.
I have a set on my Mach 1 and they’re great. People say they’re “noisy” but I don’t really hear it…If they are it’s drowned out by my exhaust and I can’t tell ????
I have the Pilots right now, second set, I love these tires. I can brake a lot later going into turns, carry more speed through the apex and roll back on the gas quicker and not worry about breaking loose.
My R came from the factory with the Bridgestone Potenza S005s. They're decent for daily driving—good grip in the dry and pretty quiet—but they’re not amazing in the wet.
good it was the biggest example of false advertising on the planet. michelin tires in the game didn’t match the actual performance in real life at all.
