Tires MICHELIN or Nokia
I’m a huge fan of Nokkian Tyres for winter.
I buy Michelin Pilot Sport all-season tires because their performance means my safety. (Also because they handle well when I’m having fun)
For a second vehicle that still has to be solid in snow, I’d go Michelin X-Ice Snow and not even think twice. They bite way harder on packed snow than any A/T and make a heavy truck like a Silverado feel way more planted on cold mornings. I ran them on my old 1500 and the difference in braking/steering vs. all-terrains was huge.
a dedicated winter like the Michelin X-Ice Snow makes a huge difference on those slick mornings and unplowed side streets.
Bit the bullet this year and put the Michelin X-Ice on. Completely different handling and traction.
Best tires on the market are Michelin Defenders. You’ll thank me in 3 years when you have little to no tire wear
I just put Michelin Crossclimate2s on mine and they're doing great.
I’m in CA I only buy Michelin defenders for all my cars can’t be beat and will last 70k, they are expensive but will last twice as long saving you money
my experience is that summer tyres provide _significantly_ more grip in the wet than CC2s. If you get ice and snow, CC2s are great, but they're not very good in the wet.
They're also not particularly quiet. I put them on my XC90 and found them to be very droney at anything over 50mph.
I have Michelin X-Ice and I didn’t like them last year. Would not recommend.
