Michelin tires are a softer rubber than Bridgestone tires. This means that Michelin tires will give you a slightly better grip on the road, but the trade off is tire life/wear.
Michellines have always been better, but you always want to look at reviews for your specific tire.
With that said, I got the Michelin Defender LTX for my car and I've never experienced better traction, especially during rain and a 2-3 inches of water on the road. You barely even feel it.
I will say, we got a set of Michelin Cross Climate 2s at Costco for our Subaru Impreza and love them.
Great choice! I did the same and we traveled 27k miles with them so far without issue!
Also the first "modification" I made to my new Rockwood. Goodbye Castle Rock (seriously?) tires and hello Goodyear. I took the wheels to the tire shop myself, the first thing I noticed was how much heavier they were with the new Endurance tires installed. That's gotta mean something as far as reliability, all I know is that the peace of mind was money well spent.
Currently have Goodyear Wintercommands on my '06 Lexus ES. Last ones were Bridgestone Blizzaks. I think I prefer the Goodyears, they handle quite well under acceleration. They were a good price too.
I got michelin xice3 I think on my cadillac for Toronto slush and snow it's great
My TLX came with Michelin Primacy A/S tires and they were very quiet . They were not grippy enough for my liking though, so I ditched them for the Continental DWS06+.
Personally I don't like Michelin tires due to constant issues I've had with rubber cracking prematurely (long before the expiration date).
