Tires MICHELIN or OEM Honda
Big fan of the X-ice Snows though
I have used Michelin X-Ice and they are great.
I’ve had very good luck with X-Ice over the years.
The Michelin PA5 is also an excellent tire.
Michelin Cross Climate 2 on my 09 Impreza sedan. Road noise is better than the winters I had, but I’ve heard they’re kinda noisy to some people. Wet and dry performance, especially in the hotter months is significantly better than my winter tires, and I feel much more connected to the road. Spirited drives on twisty backroads feel much better. In snow storms, starting/stopping feels amazing, like the snow isn’t even there, and I’ve never had an issue pulling through 5+ inches of snow. Making light and smooth turns has also been very good. However, I find it much easier to break traction compared to my previous winter tires if you’re being reckless, and it's harder to regain. Aggressive 90-degree downhill turns can make the back end step out. There's also a reported 1-3 mpg hit. Despite this, I would most likely buy them again.
Michelin cross climate 2’s on my 2016 Impreza sport hatch 5mt. I’ve had them for about a year and a half in central PA and they’ve treated me very well. They’re awesome in snow and the tread life has been good so far. They’re a little more noisy on the highway, but I definitely feel more comfortable driving the car in bad weather over my Jeep, unless the snow fall is over like 8 inches. Michelin cross climate 2 gets my vote!
Michelin Cross Climate 2. I don't feel the need to run dedicated snowies but the CC2s have been fantastic.
I have a set on my Mach 1 and they’re great. People say they’re “noisy” but I don’t really hear it…If they are it’s drowned out by my exhaust and I can’t tell ????
Vara/primavara/toamna se comporta foarte ok, nu am sesizat diferente fata de o anvelopa dedicata. Se comporta chiar mai bine decat o anvelopa dedicata din gama medie de pret.
Iarna pe frig (fara zapada) la fel, comportament excelent.
Insa in zapada, chiar si mica, acolo am observat diferente. Trebuie sa conduc cu cel putin 30-40% mai “defensiv” si mai atent ca sa nu fiu luat prin surprindere (distanta franare, derapaj, urcare/coborare pante).
The Defender IIs aren't like the Defender LTXs that I had 2 sets of previously. These new ones were unacceptably noisy and rough riding.
