I have Michelin cross climate tires on my suv and have zero issues in winter conditions. As long as you know your vehicle and drive to the conditions, all weather tires are fine for 90% of driving conditions, even when going to Banff.
I had 2 of the exact same vehicle (Subaru Outback). One had Michelin X-Ice dedicated winter tires and the other had Michelin Cross Climate All Weather tires. Last year, after a fresh snowfall, I took both cars out, drove down the street and took quick turns, braking, starts from stop etc. I then went to an open parking lot and did the same. I didn't notice much difference at all in those types of conditions.
I just got some extra winters Michelin X ice snow 225/65/17 if interested I can give you a bargain, tread is amazing I used another set up my last winters and I’ll never use anything else.
Some all weather tires - like the Michelin CrossClimate2s - can outperform cheap / low tier winter tires.
If you do go for all weathers, get the Michelin Cross Climate 2s. It always surprises me how good they are in snow. They're probably the closest you'll get to winter tire performance.
Michelin crossclimate 2 is hands down the best all season tire. They perform very well at at temperatures and road conditions. They feel like a snow tire on snow, shed water in the rain very well and holds traction on dry roads like a summer tire. They also hold up very well for a long time
I had a set of michelin x-ice/snow... best damn tires i ever drove on i was going to get another pair to replace them but they were fresh out when i needed tires and i needed them bad. damn car felt bulletproof no matter what i was driving in
Im using michelin pilot alpin 5 on my e91 not awd. I also use weight on the back of the car for more grip. Im living on the mountain between italy and austria. No other tire work Better in my opinion.
It will probably settle out to a 10-15% range loss. I went from 230 > 260 wh/mi (only about 2k miles on them).
I’ve spent more on tires on my myp in the first year than any other car ive owned. 3 punctures on the pilot sport AS4 add up.
