I'd already been impressed by how noticeably smoother these tires were and how they just felt invisible for the past few weeks. I drove them through two downpours and they were amazing. Hydroplanes I expected to happen just, didn't. I wasn't expecting them to be as good as they are in this nonsense. They just gripped, no slip, no drama.
i have a 2023 jetta with michellin x ice and she’s a tankkkk
The CC2 is a solid choice if you get snow and want something that works year round. I don’t think you will notice a difference in ride quality between SL and XL. Note the CC2 can have a bit of road noise
Slap on some Michelin ice and you'll be plowing through / leaving everyone in the dust.
I’ve got a ‘19 SE that I put Michelin cross climate 2’s on. That combined with driving in low gear on snow-covered roads has done well for me so far.
Michellin. X and my 2015 Jetta I have 0 issues driving in snow ice condition. The feedback from the car give me the feeling of the road and makes me anticipate my Next Movement
I live in buffalo area we just were hit with 2 feet of snow the past two days. I put dedicated 20inch wheels and Michelin x ice tires on it instead of the 22” stock wheels and Michelin all seasons. It’s the most planted feeling I’ve had in a vehicle in the winter. I love how well the defrost works too. I’m start a new post tho for what is the most overkill windshields wipers available for the ix. I need them.
I put on a set of Michelin x-ice and went down to 20” rims from the stock 21’s. Handles great, very little sliding, good grip and I was surprised how quiet the tires are for full snows.
I’m also in Chicago, bought the same tires, and just assumed I was heavy footed and that’s why I was can’t break 3.0 mi/kwh even though I’m not that bad. Didn’t realize the tires themselves were less efficient. All that being said I home charge so by my math it’s like 80 dollars extra a year of electricity to avoid the more expensive tires.
I\u2019m about 1000 miles into the defenders, coming from OEM scorpion 22\u201ds. Quite disappointed in the efficiency drop.
