Tires MICHELIN or Falken
Michelin x ice have been great for me. On my second set.
I have bought these tires twice. They are the best tires I’ve ever owned however, beware they scream on concrete pavement.
Not bad at all. I have them on my Q5. This thing eats through tires and the CC2 have lasted the longest for sure.
I put these on my 2019 Highlander hybrid. 6k miles on them and love the wet and dry handling. I have dedicated blizzak winters but am going to run my cc2 this season as my blizzaks have 36k miles on them. Road trip soon that will include winter snow conditions. I will post how they handle. Also I did notice a 1.5~2 mpg drop in fuel economy.
I put some Falken Ziex A/S on, no complaints. Was about $850 installed. Rides great, handles great
Michelin CrossClimate2 are amazingly smooth and quiet. And they hardly wear at all. Over 20k on my set and they’ve only worn 1/32nd.
I don’t even live in a snowy environment but they are amazing in heavy rain. 70mph in heavy rain is easily doable
I can tell you the Cross Climate 2s are a fantastic tire - however I mostly stayed on pavement with the occasional gravel / dirt road - nothing with lots of rocks or potholes
I have a pair of Defender 1 and 2s on my 2017. Both great. Defenders will impact your MPG. Around 2-3 in my experience.
Also have had General Altimax on a Subaru that were fine as well as Michelin X-ice on a BMW x-1.
i have a set on my pickup. i hate them. loud, poor ride quality.
