I put on a set of these last week! Love them so far. A little bit noisier then my stock tires, but the car feels so much more planted now.
I got them installed a few weeks. Noticeably quieter and the performance in wet conditions is really amazing.
Places here on the coast don't require it by law but if your driving daily on highways and in the city I would highly consider getting some on steel rims ...Michelin xice are the way to go ... Next best tire to something with studs. And regardless of snow they perform much better in the rain as well as lower temps anything below 7.
I've been happy with the Michelin Defenders that came with my Fit. Quiet, smooth ride, long lasting, and they're good enough for the way I drive.
Michelin Pilot Super Sport: Legendary summer performance tire.
CC2’s all the way! Those things are crazy good in snow and the rest of the year
As an owner of CrossClimate 2s
get them (or the 3s). they're amazing for all-seasons.
I got the CrossClimate 2s in May, so I had the entire summer plus a decently rainy last few months to try them out. They were awesome.
Picked up a new set of Cross Climate 2’s over the weekend. Handling is great, especially in the rain. Aesthetically, I think they look super cool and unique. They have an aggressive look to them.
That being said, I did not do my due diligence beforehand and let the guy at discount t*re give me the run down on them. One thing he failed to mention was the lack of efficiency they bring (not blaming him). In my first couple of drives I noticed my wh/mi to be well over 300 and in one instance on a 5 mile drive it was 395 wh/mi. Crazy! This is in comparison to my average of 252 wh/mi for the last 5k miles I’ve driven. It’s important to note that I like to accelerate fast and have had the heat on due to the cold weather coming in (Chicago native).
I wanted to see how much of a difference it made if I changed my driving habits so for the past 15 miles or so. I turned “chill” mode on and turned off the AC system and have averaged around 210 wh/mi. Nice to know that efficiency is still attainable just a bit sad that I will be losing 30%+ of range when driving how I normally do.
Hoping that with time they will break in and I will see that number go down a bit. I will update the thread as I put more miles on them.
when you put all seasons on it i.e. Michelin CrossClimate, you will feel weird vibrations when driving above 60 miles.
