I have 235/60R18 tires on new wheels with x-Ice snow tires and this is my 3rd winter. I don't believe the tires cause much if any range loss as they are narrower than stock. My overall winter range loss is about 12%, 250 watts per mile versus 285..
Anvelopele all season de la michelin chiar sunt bune, la urmatorul set chiar ma gandesc si eu sa trec pe all season avand in vedere ca nu au mai fost ierni asa de grele in ultimii ani.
Recently picked up my 2026 1LT, immediately had Michelin Alpin PA4's mounted. Lots of fun.
My wife has crossclimates on her Q7 and they are amazing. Much better than her previous all seasons.
I love my CrossClimate tires. Lived here my whole life and when I got them 2 years ago it was a game changer. Would highly recommend.
just replaced the T1res with the Hancock ev ion thingys. I like them and notice they are much quieter.
If I want a long lasting all terrain truck tire it's usually the Michelin LTX AT2. They're expensive but the cost justifies their longevity.
$30k gets you a really nice Golf R. Co-worker just bought a 6-speed Mk7 and daily’s it here in southern AB on a set of Michelin X-Ice’s. Ive driven it a few times and would definitely have one over a newer WRX.
I now drive on x-ice snow, and I don’t have a comparison (I buy new winter tires every 6 years or so on different vehicles) but I do find the x-ice snow to lose grip somewhat rapidly at the limit, and prefer a more gradual slip at limit.
I’m actually pretty disappointed with me ion evo’s. I got them for my ‘22 LR AWD. At first they were really good - and maybe I got a defective set or something- but at about 18k miles on them I already needed a new set. Even the guys at Discount Tire were pretty surprised they went bad so quickly. I don’t really hot rod the car. For reference my OEM tires were Hankook Kinergy GT and I got about 40k miles out of them. They start out as really good tires so I hope you have better luck than me!
