Tires MICHELIN or GT Radial
Very decent snow tires despite not being all-out winters. AMAZING in the rain. Aquaplane resistance is second to none, great straight line grip, pretty good in the corners. My current set is down to about 5/16 and is losing grip like crazy, but that is expected. It took 70k miles to get down to 5/16, by the way.
You could go to an all weather tire like the Michelin Cross Climate 2
Crossclimate 2 on 2016 Civic over 70k miles on them and still good (per Costco, I still have about 15020K miles on them). They are very good on water and ok in snow. HOWEVER they become noisier as they age.
The v730s have significantly more grip and won’t get as greasy and the Michelin.
Just got a set of CC2\u2019s last week for my XT6. Already have them on our minivan and my son\u2019s Fusion (my previous work vehicle). I don\u2019t notice anymore road noise from the CC2 compared to the OEM tire (Michelin Primacy Tour). We just got about 8\u201d of snow yesterday in to today and the CC2 are significantly better in the snow than the PT were last winter. I have a short ride to the office now but I went through 2 sets of CC2\u2019s on the Fusion when I was driving 100+ miles a day to my previous job and they were excellent in all conditions at highway speeds.
I have Dunlop Sport Maxx for summer and Michelin X-Ice Snow for winter. The Dunlop are like fucking slicks once things start to get cold and wet. These x-ice are a BEAST though. 70+ with no issues while everyone else is doing 40 with hazards.
AWESOME bad weather tire, They are great on cars that see a lot of not so great roads. I run them on my all wheel drive volvo xc70 and they are fantastic. They handle dirt and mud super well, in addition to just not minding the snow at all, and they have really good hydroplane resistance.
I have them on a FWD Honda CRV and after about 20k miles they are some of my favorite tires I have ever owned. I live in South Carolina so snow isn\u2019t much of a concern. However, they have been amazing in the rain and we certainly get some downpours here. As for dry weather, they are smooth, quiet and give a good road feel when driving, especially on the long highway trips.
I currently have michelin pilot sport all season 4s on and they are at 6/32nds. And they are not very good in the rain. Is that because they are worn or is that what i should expect from them? I'm worried with winter coming now that they will really struggle in any snow. I've always run all season tires on my cars and I've been fine but I'm now worried after driving these in the rain today. Is there different all seasons I should look at getting or just new michelins?
Are they Michelins perchance? The worst effin tires for dry rot, I only bought them once in my life.
