I got the ironman iMove gen 2 as, for about 600 CAD plus instal they are a all season and have been really good so far, just terrible in snow and ice other then that I'd recommend
Depends on the tires. If he put on Walmart special ling-longs and you put contin or Michelin The difference will be pretty big.
Michelin X-Ice Snows through Costco turned my R56 from a one-wheel-drive potato into a competent winter vehicle, all while still being quiet on the highway like a summer tire.
Cross climates are fantastic. I’ve 20000 miles on mine & only changing soon because well, winter. Still not down to the wear markers and they’ve had a pretty hard time…
You will lose some steering feel and precision, but Michelin tires are so good that I don't really notice much of a grip difference. They should be better in the rain, and they're good in light snow. They will also make the ride more comfortable and a bit quieter. Plus a 40,000 mile tread life on such a high level of performance is insane.
Just put the CrossClimate2’s on my 2024 premium and drove to Toronto and back(just shy of 4 hours one way). Felt like a brand new car….again. Legit changed the drive for the better in every way I had hoped.
It is running on 17x7.5 Mk7 rims, 225/50R17 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4, 26.3" diameter. No rubbing. Lowered the pressure to 32psi and it becomes a very supple and plush ride.
We are currently running the Michelin LTX MS2 on our ‘08 Limited - we’ve been running Michelins for about 250,000 mi. So, I’d go for the Defender, if that’s the Michelin choice.
My MX doesn’t have foam in the replacement tires I got but I haven’t noticed a difference! In my original 19in continental on a SR+ Model 3 and went to Michelin and noticed a huge sound and range difference esp in my kWh usage.
I have nothing to add but that my X-Ice 3s are terrible on wet and dry pavement.
