I picked up some 18” Aeros and threw some 235/55/18 104V Michelin CrossClimate2 tires on them. It’s preeeeeetty good. Haha came from the stock 19” Aeros (I think they’re tempest?) on the stock Continental tires.
-Efficiency is nearly identical, got 265wh/mi cruising the highway at roughly 75mph.
-Ride is actually STIFFER. Totally shocked me haha
-Sound is identically quiet/loud, except at low speeds around 10mph where you can hear the tread pattern howl
-Picked up all the benefits that come with the CC2
I've been very happy with my Michelin CC2s. Pretty quiet in the summer and good so far with last week's snow.
I swap my tires for Michelin X-ICE. I keep chains in my cargo box but have never needed them.
I've been using them in the last 3 seasons. Michelin cross climate 2. They wear out bit faster but those tires doing great. No slipping, good control during snowfall. No problem on sludge roads but a bit weak on ice.
Look at Michelin cross climate 2. Will still qualify for your winter tire discount on your insurance, but not annoying having to swap and store tires twice a year. They perform absolutely fine in the winter snow and slush. Tread life and noise are excellent on the cross climate 2s. I've driven in serious snow and they perform extremely well.
If you have to buy tires for your car, most Michelin tires are made in Canada. Just bought some snow tires for the car and went for the Michelin X-Ice.
I swapped my G80 from PS4S to PS4AS in early October, which lets me send it on the \\~75% of winter days that are dry and cold, but no snow or ice.
I am impressed with Nokian brand.
I bought these for my Lexus replacing latitudes, went to Lexus got an alignment, put it on the road to Tennessee probably 4-500 ish miles one way. They were pretty grippy on the back roads, but highway driving was just to loud for me. So I took them back within the 1000 mile guarantee, when I got back from Tennessee and got a new set of latitudes. They are good tires for sure but they are also directional tires so that's where you get the bit of road noise. But they do have hella grip.
I have the Ps4s on my x5m and I’ve disliked them from day 1. Honestly can’t wait to put my winters back on so I don’t hear so much road noise.
