I will add that I saw that Consumer Reports gave a surprisingly good review of the Kenda Vezda Touring 4S.
Dry braking: 4/5
Wet braking: 3/5
Handling: 3/5
Hydroplaning: 3/5
Snow traction: 4/5
Ice braking: 4/5
Ride comfort: 3/5
Noise: 4/5
Rolling resistance: 3/5
Tested tread life (Miles): 50000
Verdict: "Pros: Impressive snow and ice grip as well as dry braking performance. Cons: 50,000 mile projected tread life based on CR's test is so-so. CR's Take: A great choice if winter traction is a priority."
Just got 20 inch Michelin cross climates 2 for $1450.
I just popped mine on tonight for the east coast snow shenanigans this weekend. They did amazing during 1000+ mile ski trip to Canada. They make the speed variable humming. But man are they soft.
Can vouch for Michelin E Primacy. Quiet and supposedly saves fuel due to low rolling resistance.
I have Michelin x-ice on my commuter and the thing is a tank in the snow.
Mainer with a 200 here. I actually run Michelin Defender LTX M/S2s on mine year round. M/S = mud & snow.\n\nThey\u2019ve performed really admirably for me in pretty brutal winter conditions we get up here.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Season. Definitely worth the money of you’re drivin’ in cold weather. Waaay better than the stock Pirelli’s.
We have a 2019 Atlas FWD that is plenty capable for Northern Midwest Winters and last year I put on a set of Michelin CrossClimate2's which really will amp up its capability in snow. I have CC2's on my Jetta and it really has been great, not a ton of deep snow experience with the Atlas with them yet but no concerns.
Ended up buying new Michelin 21s and got stuck in wet grass a week later. Bought used 20” wheels and tires, Toyo open country ev3s and never looked back.
100% agree. And honestly CC2s have disappointing traction in packed snow/ice. Really doesn’t deserve a 3-peak rating. They were marginally batter than the Michelin MXM4 they replaced.
