the cross clime2 are really good tires had them on my van for a couple of years they are a little louder but are almost as good as mich ice on snow and ice and better in rain.
I replaced the stock Michelin Energy Saver set with Michelin Defender2 last year. Never going back.
Definitely better grip and handling, especially when wet. There was an impact to range but it was pretty negligible.
Pick up some Michelin Cross Climate 2’s. Triple peak snow rated, 60k miles, and perform well even in the heat.
I bought all weather Michelin cross climate2 tires. I don’t want to have 2 sets of tires. I live in southern Ontario and we get snow yes but roads are generally taken care of well and I don’t go North at all.
I put good winter tires on it (Michelin X-Ice Snow EV) and I’ve not had an issue with RWD. Today was the first day I’ve driven it in pure winter conditions and it was a dream to drive.
I bought these when living in Western Colorado and they did great for last winter. I also had a great experience with them in the PNW/Western Oregon in a more rainy than snowy climate. They were about $1000 total and came with a reasonable warranty which I recommend for any AWD vehicle.
I do notice that they can be loud but I don't care. They also seem to decrease fuel efficiency but I am okay with that since I am starting with high efficiency in the first place.
recently replaced OEM falken on my 21 CE for some Pilot sports and smh.. idk why i waited so long. car feels so great driving. tires have great grip. corners takign with ease. and if acceleration is amazing.
Michelin Defender 2. I replaced all 4 just past 30,000 miles. Expensive, but high quality and rated to last 80,000 miles.
CrossClimates are good in winter but take a penalty in MPG & noise because of that benefit (the 2 biggest complaints in reviews).
I changed from the OEM tires to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's a few months ago and have been disappointed with them. They do have more grip than the OEM tires but feel really squirrely and "Mushy" while steering, especially when driving more "spiritedly". I miss how stable the car felt with the original tires.
