I recently replaced the OEM tires on my 2019. Plenty of tread left but was seeing some cracks. They had poor traction when it got wet, abysmal traction in the snow. Went with the Michelin Cross Climate 2. HUGE improvement. It's the family vehicle so I was willing to spend a bit more. Tires are worth it.
My new 2024 Tiguan SEL had a vibration. The Pirelli tires on it would not come into spec on the road force balance machine. I put on Michelins and no more vibration.
I have cross climates 2 in Canada, driving a Murano AWD. Great tires in all conditions, dry, rain, snow, except ice.
Michelin CC2 is a great long lasting tire that is great in just about every condition except very deep snow. It was a big upgrade from the General RT43's we had previously had on our '13 OB. We have General 365AW on our '23 which are not quite as good in the rain, but are a lot cheaper.
This is a common question in the sub and you’ll generally hear a lot of recommendations for newer all weather tires such as Michelin CrossClimate 2 or Bridgestone Weatherpeak (installed on mine). These are premium all weather on road tires that’ll do pretty well in light/moderate snow and very good touring performance.
The E rated tire will ride ever so slightly harder, but the drastically increased life will make up for that.
Can't recommend Michelin CrossClimate 2's enough. Has been perfect in all weather for me including freezing cold, snow, wet, and summer temps. They are not noisy and wear well.
Michelin CrossClimate2 staggered 20” on my FE. Superb tires. Quiet, smooth, insane levels of grip wet or dry. No loss of range in the winter, haven’t seen warm weather yet to judge summer range. I’m fine with giving up range for performance.
Our CrossClimates after being fitted mid-2020. The outers are at 3mm, and the inner 4mm. Over 30k miles. Seems acceptable to me. Ours are on a Freelander 2/LR2, so a relatively heavy vehicle.
My XSE here in Canada came stock with Michelin Primacy, they are noisy.
