Tires MICHELIN or OEM Mazda
Put them on my Fiat 124 Abarth (RWD convertible). Firsts snow test was this morning... WSDOT plowed the road down to hardpack snow/ice, and they did great. No trouble on the ascent, no trouble in the packed snow/ice/slush parking lot... Perfect winter-season tire for this climate.
I live in Waukesha (near Milwaukee) and have LOVED my X-Ice Snows the last two winters. I commute downtown every day (30 minutes of mixed interstate/city driving) and am super comfortable with those tires on my stock wheels in winter
I have a dedicated summer wheel set and made these my dedicated winter set, having X-ice 3’s prior. They obviously don’t grip on ice the best but for everything else they have been superior. 2015 BMW 328i xDrive.
I put the CC2s on my Civic Hatchback about 1,500 miles ago, and I have throughly enjoyed them. Last week they got their first taste of snow, and the grip was excellent. Many of the side roads were insanely messy... I didn’t slide once... I love these tires.
I only put ~8k kms / 5000 miles on them, so I can't comment on longevity. But I drove them through snow, sleet and heavy rain (winter tires), and up to 125mph on the German Autobahn, and they were just fine.
Got a set of 16 steelies with Michelin Ice-X's for my 2014. Have worked pretty well so far and I got at a good deal with Discount Tire.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is the go to summer tire for many.
Michelin X-Ice was my go to for my 14’s on my AW.
The last years all the Michelin tires I have sold and mounted have been less than impressive, took lots of oe ones off with fairly low mileage 20 to 25k ,for my money hankooks generally have been a good value and have become my go to brand
The sidewall split on one of the Michelin Primacy MXM4 on our 2021 Model 3 at about 12000km (only 7450 miles) so those Michelin Primacy MXM4s are not that great it seems.
