Replaced my Goodyears with Michelin Primacy A/S at 14k miles in the PNW.
Running michelin cross climate 2s. 60k mile warranty EV tires. 3 mountain rating as well.
Putting Cross Climate 2’s on was one of the best decisions ever. Wet, dry, snow or sun… doesn’t matter - these tires continue to impress.
I like Michelin Primacy for quiet ride
One thing to note, we absolutely love the Michelin Defenders.
It handles Midwest winters way better than the four options you listed, lasts longer (80k warranty), and feels more planted on heavier SUVs.
Michelin Defender 2 is a wonderful tire
For me, Altima FWD, they are a little worse than my dedicated snow tire when I’ve ran them (I’ve gotten stuck once and had to put on chains). I like the blizzaks better but the CC2s do ok. CC2s also get slightly worse mpg than the blizzaks/are a little louder.
I just put them on my Forester and am now struggling to maintain 30mpg whilst before I was sitting between 34 - 36 depending on how many red lights I caught that week. I kind of wish I had gone with the Defender 2 series or another touring tire personally as I already have Blizzak WS90s on my Wrx STi that I can use for heavy snow
Every Michelin I've owned has been too loud for me.
