I’ve had good experiences with the Michelin xice series.
Check out Michelin Cross Climate II as a year-round option. We use them on one of our FWD SUVs.
Compared to the stock GoodYear Eagles they are MUCH better. These tires are perfect for what I needed which is on-road use, the traction is very good, road noise is much lower, and general level of comfort and absorbing things like bumps and potholes is much improved too.
It also corners better now, before it felt almost floaty? Like it could fish tail out of nowhere almost if I turned too hard but now I can take corners with some speed and not worry. I would say most importantly though the driving experience is improved from a boat/float feel to something with power that doesn’t struggle to transfer it to the ground. Would highly recommend!
I’ve had the same experiences with my pilot sport 4 AS. I’m at 41,000 miles and still going strong. I estimate I will get another 5 to 10,000 out of them. It’s really only the back tires that will need replacement. The front tires still appear to have most of their tread. The Michelin’s are incredible tires!

I have been running PS4S on my R32. These tires hold really well, even when it's wet.
The 18s have Michelin X-Ice Snow tires on them. So far so good.
Sounds like you need better snow tires. Or you need to learn to drive in the snow. I did just fine in Houghton with an NA Miata on Michelin X-Ices, and in a low slung FWD Volvo C30 on Vredestein Wintrac Pros.
My MX doesn’t have foam in the replacement tires I got but I haven’t noticed a difference! In my original 19in continental on a SR+ Model 3 and went to Michelin and noticed a huge sound and range difference esp in my kWh usage.
I’ve had these for about 18 months / 15K miles on my 18’ AWD LX and I can’t say I’m a fan. Although they are amazing in the rain. I ironically wish for rain sometimes for longer trips because they drive SO much better on wet pavement compared to dry.
- The road noise is ridiculous on an AWD model.
- They’re wearing very fast for tires with only 15K.
- Drop in fuel efficiency once installed (~2MPG drop).
- Rocks, twigs, and everything else you can imagine get stuck in the grooves and can lead to a rough ride.
