I had the old x Ice 3 then now have the x Ice snow. For sure you maybe pay a bit for name brand but so far I really like them Quieter, seems to me better in the deeper snow then the older ones too
I have the cross climate 2 and they are fantastic for light snow and ice.
I have Michelin CrossClimate and Maxxis Premitra, been happy with both, maybe slight edge to the Michelin.
Michelin cross climate 2. Not a snow tire but rather “all weather.” Great handling in dry, wet and snow. My first set I got about 60K on and I only replaced them this fall because its ability in the snow was fading towards the end (which is normal).
I will give a node to Michelin X-Ice, they were phenomenal on my 7th gen 2.4 without traction control- rarely encountered wheel spin
I have Michelin X-Ice snows on a set of 17” steelies. They’re awesome.
Michelin is the gold standard. Period. They're expensive and worth every penny. Quiet, smooth, great handling and wear like iron.
I stopped using continentals when my last set of DWS sounded like a freight train down the road in my golf. I switched to Michelin crossclimate 2s and they have been a great all weather and quiet tire.
The last years all the Michelin tires I have sold and mounted have been less than impressive, took lots of oe ones off with fairly low mileage 20 to 25k ,for my money hankooks generally have been a good value and have become my go to brand
I’ve had these for about 18 months / 15K miles on my 18’ AWD LX and I can’t say I’m a fan. Although they are amazing in the rain. I ironically wish for rain sometimes for longer trips because they drive SO much better on wet pavement compared to dry.
- The road noise is ridiculous on an AWD model.
- They’re wearing very fast for tires with only 15K.
- Drop in fuel efficiency once installed (~2MPG drop).
- Rocks, twigs, and everything else you can imagine get stuck in the grooves and can lead to a rough ride.
