I got Michelin Cross Climate 2. I expected them to be so so compared to the Pilot 4 Summer I had on, but I’ve been really pleasantly surprised. They’re a bit softer (not always a bad thing) and they make me feel so much more confident and safe in cold weather.
We went from a continental "contact" tire which was supposed to be highly rated to the crossclimates. This is on a van. The cross climates are quiet and have a much better ride quality. I haven't driven them in snow yet, but the tread appearance gives me confidence. We also have similar MPG, meaning we haven't given up mileage, and it may have improved. I'm anticipating getting them for my car soon.
I bought some nice tires for my wifes car. The set of 4 and the install was about $1500
I put a set on my Avalon. I thought they were great. Definitely dinged my gas mileage. They plowed thru standing water with ease. The wheel didn’t jerk and the car stayed true. Good in snow as well.
+1 Cross Climate 2. they're great in wet, snow, ice, and ...everything. Not just snow. Really grippy for the type of mixed-sleet, icy roads we get around virginia.
Cross climates all the way. They’re also excellent in rain.
Vote for Cross Climate (2). I switched to them from Michelin Pilot Sports and they have served us much better. They've aged well and we've gotten nearly 60k miles on them. They are far more confident in the snow than any other all season tire we've had.
Michelin Road 6 have been so awesome I got them again recently. Very confidence inspiring, more capable than I. By that I mean I can't take a corner fast enough to feel unsafe. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
An easy performance mod is lighter wheels with track tires, the stock dunlops are alright but pretty underwhelming for being a 200treadwear tire. If you want better ride quality, switch to a high performance all season.
I'm not very impressed with 19" Michelin Ice-Xs on my YP compared to Blizzaks that I used to run on my WRX, but I think it's more to do with Tesla's 60/40 AWD v Subaru's symmetrical 50/50 AWD.
