I have Michelin cross climate on plaid and I drive like a lunatic currently at 38k miles and i think I have 10kish more miles left i think.
But in your size the Michelin CrossClimate2 would be my pick.
I have a Chrysler Pacifica and the factory tires on that were pretty awful in the snow and ice. When it was time to replace them I went with the Michelin Crossclimate 2. It was done in early January so could easily compare to the old tires and there was a significant improvement.
Been driving in Canadian winters with X-Ice\u2019s for the past 3 winters and have never had any issues. Always feel safe on the road with them, and I\u2019ve had to drive through blizzards several times.
On a separate note I don't notice much difference between Michelin and Pirelli in the dry, but in the wet gimme' my Michelin's any day.
Recommendation:\n- Michelin Cross Climate 2 with padding. I get them from Discount Tires, I buy their insurance. What you pay upfront is what you get in back end. I have had a few total replacements with no cost.
I found Michelin Road 5s to keep their excellent feel in the wet and the cold. I commuted in under 10 degrees F and through snowstorms on them several times. Obviously slowed way down in the snow, but the tires kept telling me they had more grip if I wanted it.
Very decent snow tires despite not being all-out winters. AMAZING in the rain. Aquaplane resistance is second to none, great straight line grip, pretty good in the corners. My current set is down to about 5/16 and is losing grip like crazy, but that is expected. It took 70k miles to get down to 5/16, by the way.
I currently have michelin pilot sport all season 4s on and they are at 6/32nds. And they are not very good in the rain. Is that because they are worn or is that what i should expect from them? I'm worried with winter coming now that they will really struggle in any snow. I've always run all season tires on my cars and I've been fine but I'm now worried after driving these in the rain today. Is there different all seasons I should look at getting or just new michelins?
I'm not very impressed with 19" Michelin Ice-Xs on my YP compared to Blizzaks that I used to run on my WRX, but I think it's more to do with Tesla's 60/40 AWD v Subaru's symmetrical 50/50 AWD.
