I swapped my tires for a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2\u2019s once the treads on my Kumho wore off. The upgrade has been great, especially in the rain and snow.
I have Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires now on year around and they work pretty great. Not as good as my old setup with dedicated winter tires, but they're good enough. I'd say they work just as well as dedicated winter tires with fresh snow, so if you want to be able to handle a few unplowed inches then they do that excellently.
We got michelin crossclimate 2 tires and really like them. If you\u2019re looking for tire recommendations. They are all season tires that do really well in the snow.
On my wife's truck in the summer she likes quieter tires so Michelin Defenders, but she gets the same Winterforce LTs in the winter.
I switch to Michelin x-ice in the winter. There\u2019s always going to be that \u201cjust drive better\u201d snob that acts like winters are a waste but at least once a year they slam on their brakes in snow and for a brief few seconds they wish they had winters on.
I got the Michelin CC2s, I can testify they are amazing tires and perform VERY well in winter driving.
Michelin cross climate 2 are amazing and amongst the best year round all weather tire. Great in Midwest snow and cold temps along. It\u2019s a great tire and a top seller for a reason.
For a CB7 that you want to daily and take on touge-style runs, I\u00a0d honestly move away from the Kenda UHPs and into something that gives you real grip without the noise and cupping issues. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is still the benchmark in the ~300tw category way quieter, noticeably better mid-corner stability, and it doesn\u2019t get greasy after a few hard pulls the way cheaper 300tw tires do. You also get much better wet braking, which matters on an older chassis.
They have great traction in the rain and snow. On the other hand they’re fairly loud, compared to most other all weather tires you’ll likely see up to a 5%-10% drop in fuel economy(traction comes with a cost), and ride quality and handling are mediocre at best. Whether the great traction is worth it is your decision.
Hate those michelin x-ice tires. Just drive on your summer tires they will not be any different.
