Tires MICHELIN or GENERAL TIRE
CC2s are fantastic all seasons that are mountain rated snow tires. They wear slightly faster than other all seasons in their class but with 9/10 all year performance. I run all seasons all year long on an old Impreza and it manages perfectly fine.
Just put the Ice X's back on yesterday for their 2nd winter after going with them from this thread. Very pleased w/ their performance and wear so far.
My Countryman has Michelin X-Ice tires in winter.
I had a set of four Michelin Defender all season tires on my SUV and had them for 6 years before having to get new tires and I will sadly admit that I neglected to rotate them for the last 4 years and they lasted through snow rain summer I drive about 1200 maybe 1300 miles a month I highly recommend Michelin tires to anybody for anything truck car motorcycle you get what you pay for
I had a set on my civic before I sold it and honestly they were great. I felt confident cornering with them and they very rarely chirped because they had such good grip!
Get the michelins. Best tire. Smooth, quiet, long lasting, great warrenty, great in rain & snow.
Ive been running the generals for ever. Just got a set of the arctic 12s mounted for this winter. Overall design doesnt seem to have changed much since around 2012 and they have always been absolute champs in deep snow for me.
I went down a size to 17 inch and got the Michelin x ice snow. I believe these and the blizzak ws90 are the top rated so get whatever is the cheaper option or has stock.
Great bit too soft and if you spirited drive these will be gone in a year with ropes showing. I swapped to harder compounds
I personally didn't like Michelin tires when I was a tire technician, but I won't discount their strengths. The biggest problem with Michelin tires is dry rot, I don't recommend them if the car sits for long periods outside.
