Tires MICHELIN or Continental
Crossclimate 2 on 2016 Civic over 70k miles on them and still good (per Costco, I still have about 15020K miles on them). They are very good on water and ok in snow. HOWEVER they become noisier as they age.
The v730s have significantly more grip and won’t get as greasy and the Michelin.
Snow tires have been one of the best decisions I made with my '25 WRX. I decided to go with the Continental Viking Contact 8, and my goodness, are they fantastic. In the Western New York area (Buffalo) we get dumped on regularly, and sometimes it doesn't let up. For years, I used all-seasons, but switching to proper tires for winter has made a difference like no other.
Just got a set of CC2\u2019s last week for my XT6. Already have them on our minivan and my son\u2019s Fusion (my previous work vehicle). I don\u2019t notice anymore road noise from the CC2 compared to the OEM tire (Michelin Primacy Tour). We just got about 8\u201d of snow yesterday in to today and the CC2 are significantly better in the snow than the PT were last winter. I have a short ride to the office now but I went through 2 sets of CC2\u2019s on the Fusion when I was driving 100+ miles a day to my previous job and they were excellent in all conditions at highway speeds.
I have Dunlop Sport Maxx for summer and Michelin X-Ice Snow for winter. The Dunlop are like fucking slicks once things start to get cold and wet. These x-ice are a BEAST though. 70+ with no issues while everyone else is doing 40 with hazards.
I\u2019ve never had a problem with my Continental DWS06 plus\u2019s. 2 winters coming up on third and haven\u2019t slipped or slid ONCE in western pa winters. Highly recommend.
AWESOME bad weather tire, They are great on cars that see a lot of not so great roads. I run them on my all wheel drive volvo xc70 and they are fantastic. They handle dirt and mud super well, in addition to just not minding the snow at all, and they have really good hydroplane resistance.
I have them on a FWD Honda CRV and after about 20k miles they are some of my favorite tires I have ever owned. I live in South Carolina so snow isn\u2019t much of a concern. However, they have been amazing in the rain and we certainly get some downpours here. As for dry weather, they are smooth, quiet and give a good road feel when driving, especially on the long highway trips.
Michelin PA4s are better for dry, wet and a little ice. They are not so good in snow. I had them on my Golf R. Although I never got stuck, they don't inspire confidence in snow.
I got the Kia Niro EV used. It came with Michelin Primacy MXV4. If I drive in Normal mode or Sport mode, they slip with even moderate amounts of acceleration.
