I just put Michelin X-Ice Snow tires on my Fit. Haven't had a chance to try them in winter conditions.
Depends on the tires. If he put on Walmart special ling-longs and you put contin or Michelin The difference will be pretty big.
Michelin X-Ice Snows through Costco turned my R56 from a one-wheel-drive potato into a competent winter vehicle, all while still being quiet on the highway like a summer tire.
Cross climates are fantastic. I’ve 20000 miles on mine & only changing soon because well, winter. Still not down to the wear markers and they’ve had a pretty hard time…
You will lose some steering feel and precision, but Michelin tires are so good that I don't really notice much of a grip difference. They should be better in the rain, and they're good in light snow. They will also make the ride more comfortable and a bit quieter. Plus a 40,000 mile tread life on such a high level of performance is insane.
Just put the CrossClimate2’s on my 2024 premium and drove to Toronto and back(just shy of 4 hours one way). Felt like a brand new car….again. Legit changed the drive for the better in every way I had hoped.
It is running on 17x7.5 Mk7 rims, 225/50R17 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4, 26.3" diameter. No rubbing. Lowered the pressure to 32psi and it becomes a very supple and plush ride.
We are currently running the Michelin LTX MS2 on our ‘08 Limited - we’ve been running Michelins for about 250,000 mi. So, I’d go for the Defender, if that’s the Michelin choice.
They are what I expect for OEM/stock light duty truck tires, fine on the road and light off-road duty into a farm field or pasture. They don't slip anywhere near as much as the Michelin aftermarket tires I ran on my F150 on wet pavement/gravel and seem pretty reasonable on the road noise so far.
Initially I thought it was the OE Pirelli. I replaced them with Michelins and had the same terrible road noise and handling.
