Tires MICHELIN or DUNLOP
AWD + Crossclimate 2 = unstoppable in DEEP snow! I work as a park ranger, and we had a 20" snowstorm... I easily drove through this despite only having 8 inches of ground clearance (power snow)... Prior to switching to CC2, I had factory Hancook Noble factory tires, which were awesome in the summer but embarrassing ???? in the winter. Vehicle = Hyundai palisade
Michelin is 100% worth it. I have them in my car 205/55/16 and they have been amazing so far.
Am pus Michelin CrossClimate 2 in octombrie pe o masina de 1.6 tone si locuiesc in oras montan. Sunt exceptionale pentru pretul platit.
eu am folosit cross climate 1 din 2017 pana in 2023 si acum cross climate 2 din 2023 incoace. Nu am ce sa le reprosez, doar trebuie sa fii constient ca aderenta pe zapada si gheata va scadea dupa anul 4-5
Eu am CC2 și nu stiu ce vorbesc ceilalți pe aici, dar am mers la munte pe zăpadă și au fost asa impecabile încat e plictisitor cu ele.
In the snow, absolutely the CrossClimate2.
Cross Climates are great but they have more road noise because of the tread pattern. The defender is a quieter tire that’s also very capable.
I’d suggest Michelin, I had them on every limo I drove I trusted them good weather and bad. The ones I had were hard compound for life tire life but for my driving they were great tires.
I have them on my Lexus ES300h and drove with them coast-to-coast across the entirety of Canada in the dead of winter, then back again in the summer. I found them to be really great performers in winter, even in nearly tire-high snow, and I never had a moment where I was worried about slipping or sliding, even through the Rockies in white-out conditions. HOWEVER... I find them to be too noisy in the summer. I can see the fuel efficiency drop on road trips in the summer as well, and I'm not sure I'd run them year-round again knowing what I know now.
Those Michelins are awful. Horribly off-balance with any amount of wear and only average on snow.
