Micheline's are worth the expense, had cheap ones and I was like Bambi on ice, they could save your life,don't scrimp
America's Tire gave me 40% off a new set, so I opted for the CrossClimate+, which cost me $524 out the door.
Drove about 10 miles on them after pickup and it’s night/day difference from the MXM4s that it came with. They seemed quieter although I didn’t get on the highway. Handling is like a different car. Not that it wasn’t good before, but it’s easy to see why everyone raves about these tires.
I bought Michelin X-Ice the year Consumer Reports rated them highest for winter passenger car tires. I got 4 of them. They were right around $1,000.00 for the set. I have great traction with them on winter roads but to be honest, I never tried driving on snow packed freeways with the all season tires. I got the winter tires the first time it snowed on the highways.
Installed my BEC Golf R headlights with the Morimoto HID kit...Also sourced some OEM Alltrack Canyons, and installed them with new Michelin Pilot Sport AS3s in OEM sizes. The difference in ride quality is stark, with the Michelins soaking up road imperfections much better than the OEM Falkens.
My 2009 CR-V that my daughter drives as a hand-me-down needed new tires. I saw a few recommendations for the Michelin Defender as a good, quiet CR-V tire. I had them installed and *wow* - so much quieter than the stock continentals that were on it. Huge difference in the amount of cabin noise coming up from the road.
Love me some winter sidewall... 15” Michelin X-ice on old school BBS Moda from 1992. No need for AWD on the shores of Lake Ontario
I just replaced my Michelin Premiere LTX on my 2012 Murano a few thousand miles ago or so.
In my opinion, they were great performing tires. My experience has been completely different than the other poster who said they were poor in cornering and quick maneuvers. I drive windy mountain roads in Appalachia all the time, and they did great in the corners. It might have to do with my tires having not much sidewall (P235/55R20), though.
They were excellent in the rain, even in standing water. I'd crank through fairly deep puddles and it wouldn't even as much as pull. Great hydroplaning resistance.
Snow.. they were about as good as you can really expect without a winter-rated tire. They did get me through weekly 400 miles trips from North Central WV to Northern Virginia every week last winter, without any worries.
I also went with the Michelin Xice3. They are fairly decent. No noticible difference to road noise compared to my all seasons. Similar fuel efficiency doing similar driving.
Got the tire just after thanksgiving has less that 1500 miles. Hit nothing blew out on a highway going 70.
