Now thats out of the way, I know my truck is clean in pictures but these tires absolutely RIP in the mud/dirt/snow, no complaints off road. For a radial tire id say 10/10 off road.
The first 10-15k miles on these tires was very smooth and quiet surprisingly.
Michelin CrossClimate2 are amazingly smooth and quiet. And they hardly wear at all. Over 20k on my set and they’ve only worn 1/32nd.
I don’t even live in a snowy environment but they are amazing in heavy rain. 70mph in heavy rain is easily doable
Neogens are amazing tires in the dry and solid in the wet, but if you push them in the rain like you do when it's not you're gunna have a bad time. I will say, they are \*soft\*, its like a 200 treadwear rating, if you do a lot of highway traveling you're probably not going to get a ton of life out of them.
I can tell you the Cross Climate 2s are a fantastic tire - however I mostly stayed on pavement with the occasional gravel / dirt road - nothing with lots of rocks or potholes
I run them on my fit that lives in one of the wettest areas of PNW and so far they have been great. Dry performance is phenomenal for the price point.
i run this on my EG, they are fine in rain as long as you are not stupid while driving in wet conditions, good if tire if you are lowered with some camber because the inner part is reinforce for that reason
I have a pair of Defender 1 and 2s on my 2017. Both great. Defenders will impact your MPG. Around 2-3 in my experience.
We put the Michelin Cross climates on 2 years ago, still no problems and much better gas mileage.
Weather peaks have garbage treadlife. CC2 is obviously a top contender. I would go CC2 for true all weather or WRG5s for better winter performance and slightly worse summer performance
With 2 sets of Ridge Grapplers, I always had one that the tire shop never could balance. Plus they aren’t any quieter than a mud terrain.
