Tires MICHELIN or Nokia
I’m on my second AWD car with CC2s. Subaru Impreza wagon and a Hyundai AWD Ioniq5. Pros are great snow & wet handling and braking & adequate dry handling combined with lower rolling resistance than most for better mileage.
I went with the 255/40R20 Michelin CC2 - mostly based on all-weather capability (had them on a previous SUV) and the longer treadwear warranty which I needed based on my requirement of being able to get two winter seasons out of them before hitting 6/32 of tread remaining.
FWD 98 ford taurus wagon on nokian Hakkapellitta R5's, I havent broke traction once this winter yet
Stock tires are crap, Michelin Cross Climate is the best.
Subaru. I have difficulty breaking traction in a crosstrek sport (2.5l) with Michelin CC2 tires in light snow. I can’t see how anything could be better.
Getting 17k miles out of tires on an X7 is honestly *great*. Most are shot by 10-12k.
We got the hakka studded ones on this year and WOW I will never go bad. We were using Firestone winter tires that came with our car before that and slid all over the place.
Purchased nokian Hakkapellitta R5's for my 98 ford taurus wagon. I will never recommend another tire, would only reccomend studded hakka's. I drive the 881 up north to conklin and back south to cold lake every 2 weeks (2 on 2 off shift) these wheels have 100% given me a false sense of security on the road because I am yet to lose any form of traction even starting from a stop sign on an incline.
I have had these tires for a little over 2 years and they have been great, but unfortunately they\u2019re needing replaced at 45,000 miles. I am a bit disappointed in that - I don\u2019t feel they wore very well and I am consistent with tire rotation/oil changes. Curious if anyone else has experienced early wear on these tires? Or is it expected to have to replace them this soon? From what I read I was expecting at least 60k miles\u2026
I have them and am not happy with them. I expected better. Poor wet handling and when I take a sharp turn they don\u2019t hug the road - lots of road noise too. I will be switching to pilot sport A/S as it doesn\u2019t snow in downtown Toronto a whole lot. I\u2019m not willing to compromise performance/ handling. Very good for commuters and people who drive in snow and don\u2019t want to do the winter switch over.
