Tires MICHELIN or OEM FORD
CrossClimate 2. Little bit louder in the cabin, but best winter rated non snow tire.
Michelin CrossClimate2 is the best option for you. The CrossClimate2 wins every comparison test it's in, and is an awesome tire.
CrossClimate2 would probably be the best.
I recently replaced the OEM tires on my 2019. Plenty of tread left but was seeing some cracks. They had poor traction when it got wet, abysmal traction in the snow. Went with the Michelin Cross Climate 2. HUGE improvement. It's the family vehicle so I was willing to spend a bit more. Tires are worth it.
My new 2024 Tiguan SEL had a vibration. The Pirelli tires on it would not come into spec on the road force balance machine. I put on Michelins and no more vibration.
I have cross climates 2 in Canada, driving a Murano AWD. Great tires in all conditions, dry, rain, snow, except ice.
Michelin CC2 is a great long lasting tire that is great in just about every condition except very deep snow. It was a big upgrade from the General RT43's we had previously had on our '13 OB. We have General 365AW on our '23 which are not quite as good in the rain, but are a lot cheaper.
This is a common question in the sub and you’ll generally hear a lot of recommendations for newer all weather tires such as Michelin CrossClimate 2 or Bridgestone Weatherpeak (installed on mine). These are premium all weather on road tires that’ll do pretty well in light/moderate snow and very good touring performance.
I replaced my stock Toyo 19’s last spring with Michelin defender’s. Much more comfortable, but I find that the car doesn’t handle as well (doesn’t feel as responsive), which is what attracted me to the car when I bought it.
1. Harsh ride- you feel every little bump. 2. Mediocre performance. 3. Pricey. I just swapped these tires out for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on my Beamer. Best investment I made so far this year. No regrets.
